Quality of contact counts: The development of interprofessional identity in first year students.
ABSTRACT
Professional and interprofessional identities: a scoping review.
Identity development within the interprofessional field is an emerging area of research. This scoping review aims to establish how professional and interprofessional identities are defined, conceptualized, theorized and measured within the interprofessional literature. Six databases were systematically searched for papers focusing on professional and/or interprofessional identities in interprofessional healthcare and education using a scoping review methodology. A total of 84 papers were included.
High and low functioning team-based pre-licensure interprofessional learning: an observational evaluation.
Interprofessional education (IPE) is embedded in many health professional training programs, often with a focus on collaborative teamwork. Most studies into whether IPE delivers the desired collaborative teamwork capabilities has tended to rely on short term, self-assessed changes in learners’ attitudes, knowledge and skills. This study adopted overt ethnographic observation to understand how a convenience sample of students behave in groups during interprofessional team-based clinical placements.
A KICK-START GUIDE TO INTERPROFESSIONAL FIELDWORK: DEVELOPING CAPABILITIES FOR FUTURE WORK
Based on experiences in health with interprofessional education, this guide provides the key approaches to establish effective interprofessional/interdisciplinary team fieldwork learning experiences. The intended audience for this guide is higher education staff with an interest in establishing interprofessional team fieldwork learning programs. This guide was produced as part of an Australian Collaborative Education (ACEN) research grant, and is based on many years of work implementing and researching interprofessional fieldwork in health at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
“Road to Empathy”: A Qualitative Exploratory Study of Trainee Experiences on a Mobile Health Clinic
Introduction. Mobile health clinics often deliver care in medically underserved communities and train student volunteers to support service delivery, but little is known about how these clinics affect trainees. Methods. We conducted a qualitative analysis of over 100 trainees' experiences volunteering with a mobile health clinic, to explore the training experience's impact on personal and professional development. Results. Volunteers' training experiences involved learning how to deliver compassionate, non-judgmental health care.
CDC STEADI: Best Practices for Developing an Inpatient Program to Prevent Older Adult Falls after Discharge
This CDC STEADI publication provides practice recommendations for screening, asessing, and intervening to reduce falls during and after a hospital stay. This guide highlights 10 steps for integrating a safe mobility and fall prevention program into inpatient workflow and clinical practice. The goal was to prevent falls during hospitalization, set the stage for better collaboration with external providers for post-discharge care, and reduce risk of falls after hospital stays.
Caring for Older Adults during COVID-19: Assessment and Management via Telehealth
The UCSF Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program is empowering Northern California to meet the needs facing older adults. This free CME telehealth module series for providers is comprised of short 10-15 minute educational videos for busy learners. Learners can decide which modules are of interest and 'earn as they learn' or accrue CME credits with each module completed.
Frailty Science: Promoting Resilience and Healthy Aging
Developed by the Information Dissemination Core of the Johns Hopkins Older Americans Independence Center, FrailtyScience.org is a state-of-the-art online resource for clinicians and researchers that focuses on the science of frailty and resiliency, and how it may impact the health and wellness of older adults. The overall goal is to improve the understanding of how frailty develops, how to best assess it, and how to best treat and prevent frailty-related decline.
