Interprofessional CPR Team Behavior Simulations
CPR Team Behavior Simulation has been one of four core IPEP interprofessional exercises since 2008. In 2012, it was transformed into a mini-course to include online learning in addition to a one-hour code simulation and a live lecture.
The primary goal of the CPR mini-course and simulation is to teach interprofessional communication.
Interprofessional CPR Team Behavior Simulations: Facilitating and Debriefing
The Interprofessional Education & Practice (IPEP) CPR Team Behavior Simulations are intensive hour-long sessions training small groups of students from medicine, nursing and pharmacy to work as teams in a simulated health emergency. This video shows an interprofessional team in action followed by an in-depth debrief session.
Disaster As Training Ground: Teaching Interprofessional Collaboration Through a Simulated Pandemic
Pandemic Flu: An Exercise in Disaster Preparedness has been one of four core IPEP interprofessional exercises since 2008. In 2012, it was transformed into a mini-course to include online learning in addition to a three-hour live pandemic simulation.
The primary goal of the Pandemic Flu mini-course and simulation is to teach interprofessional teamwork and communication in a crisis situation.
In this video overview, experts including Dr. Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the United States, comment on the importance of teamwork in a health care crisis.
Pandemic Flu: An Interprofessional Exercise in Disaster Preparedness
Combining online and face-to-face learning, the IPEP Pandemic Flu mini-course underscores the importance of collaboration across professional lines.
In the fall of each year, health professions students at the University of Arizona Students participate in the mini-course and simulated pandemic where they must work in teams to address the threats and consequences of public health emergencies. The course brings together students from nursing, pharmacy, medicine, public health, law and social work.
