Presenting at CAB 2025:
A panel of IPE experts from six institutions will engage participants in a workshop about best practices, challenges, and solutions related to IPE assessment. Areas of emphasis will include scaling IPE assessments, adapting assessments/matching assessment modality to varied levels of learners, and IPE assessment considerations that span an IPE curriculum.
Health professions training programs must prepare trainees to practice in an environment influenced by recent developments in AI. This poster presentation offers the varying perspectives of several Big Ten institutions and encourages participants to consider how best to approach AI and collaborate in their own teaching and practice environments.
Creating meaningful IPE experiences with authentic patients is challenging. We developed Pathway Programs where interprofessional learners collaborate to build therapeutic relationships, address health goals, and tackle social determinants of health. These programs emphasize teamwork and community needs. Reflections from students and patients underscore the meaningful relationships and impactful learning achieved.
