Roles and Responsibilities: It Takes a Team
This module provides an introduction to the roles and responsibilities of interprofessional primary care team members. It includes interactive activities to assist you to explain your own role and responsibilities to patients, families and team members.
The development of this module was supported (in part) by the Scottsdale Healthcare Hospitals (SHC) as part of the Graduate Nurse Education Development Project and by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation as part of the Interprofessional Primary Care Project (The Macy Project).

Perceptions of interprofessionalism in health professional students participating in a novel community service initiative
Interprofessional collaboration is integral to effective patient care in today's healthcare system. Early exposure to other professions in a hands-on manner during education can be helpful for future practice. However, opportunities for interprofessional education are typically faculty driven and remain limited. Thirty-eight students from different health professions at the University of British Columbia worked collaboratively to promote cardiovascular risk reduction in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Attitudes of the first cohort of student groups trained together at the University of Portsmouth Dental Academy towards dental interprofessional education
Objective

Methods
Loyola University Chicago: Interprofessional Care Coordination Teams to Address Diabetes
This project studies the impact of using a care coordination team on both outcomes for diabetic adult patients and outcomes for health care providers.
Breaking Down the Silos: An Interprofessional Approach to Education
An interprofessional practice gap was identified in relation to discharge care provided to patients with tracheostomies or laryngectomies. Using a case study method, this article presents an approach that administrators of educational programs can take to develop an instructive strategy to address the practice gap and improve patient care.
Virtual TeamSTEPPS® Simulations Produce Teamwork Attitude Changes Among Health Professions Students
Background:
The majority of the estimated 400,000 or more patient deaths per year in the United States are from preventable medical errors due to poor communication. Team training programs have been established to teach teamwork skills to health professions students. However, it is often challenging to provide this training at a physical site. A brief intervention using a virtual learning environment with TeamSTEPPS®-based scenarios is described.
Method:
Developing interprofessional education: putting theory into practice
Toolkit in the Clinical Teacher
Despite its now long history, interprofessional education (IPE) is still not a routine component of health professional education. Although there are challenges when introducing IPE, as noted here, these may be overcome with careful planning and consideration of the learning outcomes for all of the students involved.
Teaching Interprofessional Collaboration: Using Online Education Across Institutions
Interdisciplinary courses among students in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology are important for addressing teamwork, communication, and understanding of professional roles, especially in pre-service training for early intervention and school-based practice where collaboration is essential. Although interprofessional education (IPE) as a part of higher education in the health sciences has been strongly encouraged, IPE courses are difficult to schedule and implement.
