Presenting at CAB 2025:

In a foundation interprofessional education course, 275 students from nursing, pharmacy, medicine, and social work collaborated in a community hackathon to address operational challenges faced by a student-run healthcare clinic. The event generated 187 innovative solutions, fostering interprofessional teamwork, community awareness, and real-world problem-solving, aligning with course values.
Team training utilizing TeamSTEPPS strategies is relevant to all health professions and should extend beyond acute care settings to enhance applicability. Participants will explore the use of different learning pedagogies to develop a team training that prepares diverse health professions to be collaboration-ready.
