Presenting at CAB 2025:
This project addresses the critical shortage of accessible psychiatric-mental healthcare through development of a comprehensive interprofessional assessment tool. Created through systematic review, community engagement, and collaborative practice, the tool integrates social care and interprofessional healthcare teams to improve holistic service delivery for vulnerable populations at an urban community healthcare clinic.
This presentation explores the integration of competency-based education (CBE) through collaboration with clinical agency partners to develop practice-ready, collaborative nurses. Participants will gain insights into partner perspectives and strategies for effectively incorporating clinical agencies into population health and interprofessional education.
