Rose Ann Mathai is an Associate Professor and Department chair for the Nutrition Science Department at Dominican University. She helped to launch interprofessional simulations in the College of Health Sciences and has been involved in planning interprofessional simulations for the past 7 years. The focus of her research has been centered around analyzing the change in student perceptions regarding interprofessional collaboration following IPE simulations. In addition, she is starting to look at faculty perceptions regarding IPE faculty training development.
Presenting at CAB 2025:
Faculty engaged in a mock simulation and debriefing training prior to the student IPE simulation. Evaluation of their IPE competencies were assessed via pre and post survey responses. Faculty showed improved communication skills and roles/responsibilities, while students significantly progressed in the IPE competencies highlighting the importance of continuous faculty development.
