Presenting at CAB 2025:
Health care teams must collaborate in novel ways to meet the complexity of care needs. An Interpretive Description study of the competencies needed to guide collaborative practice is presented, including emphases on patient safety, cultural humility, social determinants of access to care, and inclusion of patients and families as decision-makers.
This research sought to define the current state of IPE in Canada and in what ways are perspectives from the social sciences and humanities integrated therein. We will share models of innovative IPE and opportunities for improved collaboration between higher education and healthcare sectors.
Health systems science (HSS) is the study of how health care is delivered. “Teaming,” a domain of HSS, recognizes the need for interprofessional teamwork. This workshop provides participants with knowledge about HSS and how to integrate its concepts into interprofessional education to support health professions learners’ to become “systems citizens.”
The aim of an Interprofessional Health, Arts and Humanities certificate is to develop collaborative, patient/client-partnered care as well to foster critical resilience practices in future professional contexts. The program is designed to advance a deeper understanding of health, illness, suffering, disability, and the provision of health and social care.
