The Texas IPE Consortium Bi-Annual Meeting is an excellent opportunity to collaborate and network with IPE professionals as we work together to improve interprofessional education and practice at our respective health-related institutions.
Telehealth Primary Care: Clinical Workplace Learning and Building the Interprofessional Academic Primary Care PACT/Medical Home
Health professions clinical training programs often lack telehealth training experiences despite available technology and clear benefits to patients. To address this gap, Boise & San Francisco Telehealth V-IMPACT Hubs in the Centers of Excellence in Primary Care Education partnered with the Atlanta VAMC Telehealth V-IMPACT Hub to design telehealth curriculum for health profession education in PACT.
Seattle CoEPCE: Redesigned Precepting Room and Warm Handoff Curriculum
In VA's Office of Academic Affiliations Seattle Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education, pharmacy and psychology presence in the precepting room with medicine and nurse practitioner trainees has led to frequent informal consults and facilitated warm handoffs between professions, including PC-MHI. New curriculum focused on warm handoffs promotes communication and exchange of different profession perspectives about optimal transitions of care between primary care team members.
