Presenting at CAB 2025:
This workshop explores the use of the think-aloud method in interprofessional education (IPE) simulations to enhance clinical decision-making and team collaboration. Participants will review research, engage in an active simulation exercise, and discuss best practices for integrating think-aloud into IPE scenarios, with a focus on improving health outcomes.
This scoping review explores the use of think-aloud protocols in health professions education, examining their impact on clinical reasoning, decision-making, and behavioral skills. It highlights gaps in simulation reporting and provides recommendations for standardizing protocols, diversifying scenarios, and integrating technology to enhance learning across disciplines and experience levels.
This presentation explores behavioral determinants influencing leadership engagement among health profession students and highlights the role of structured leadership programs in fostering collaborative leadership within interprofessional teams. Attendees will gain insights into addressing barriers, enhancing self-efficacy, and integrating shared leadership models to prepare students for effective, patient-centered healthcare collaboration.
