Presenting at CAB 2025:
The Emory Farmworker Project (EFP) is an interprofessional service-learning program at Emory University where health professional students provide care to migrant farmworkers in the fields. PA and MD students participated in focus groups about the interprofessional nature of EFP and the impact of community-based, practical IPE on their clinical learning.
Despite the rise in interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice, opportunities for true IPE are limited in traditional didactics and rotations. The Emory Farmworker Project provides a model for community-based IPE programs to create a unique, high yield learning environment to foster collaboration and co-learning for health professional students.
