Roni Lafky (she/her) is an Associate Director of Professional Develop Programs in the College of Continuing & Professional Studies at the University of Minnesota. While no longer specifically in the interprofessional health education space, she still cares deeply for the mission of IPE. Her previous work in the UMN Center for Interprofessional Health focused on building interprofessional education opportunities for learners in the experiential phase of their training, co-leading an interprofessional ecohealth experience, managing an interprofessional student internship program, and collaborating on preceptor development opportunities.
Presenting at CAB 2025:
This presentation describes an innovative hybrid continuing education curriculum for health professionals to develop and apply the IPEC competencies in their roles as providers and preceptors within interprofessional clinical learning environments. Presenters will summarize the curriculum content, present feedback data, and share lessons learned in implementation and assessment.
Significant gaps exist in implementing interprofessional education in the clinical learning environment. In partnership with three health organizations, the UMN Center for Interprofessional Health launched an innovative academic-clinical partnership model designed to leverage and support IPE Champions employed within health systems. Champion presenters will share lessons learned, outcomes, and impacts.
There is little guidance regarding academic-community collaborations in interprofessional education across the learning continuum related to death, dying, and disposition. Presenters describe an innovative 3-year task force (TF) partnership exploring DDD IPE and resources across the learning continuum, including outcomes, deliverables, and lessons learned.
