  • Innovative Approaches to Interprofessional Pedagogy and Education Science

The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Interprofessional Academy of Educators (IAE) aims to enhance faculty scholarly dissemination by providing structured support for manuscript development. Recognizing the challenges faculty face in translating educational interventions into publishable manuscripts, the IAE designed a hybrid workshop to address these needs. We seek to share our workshop to support IAE’s mission to foster a collaborative, innovative, and scholarly community among educators.Detailed description of the workshop : Format: Our workshop will focus on structured content delivery that can be used in their own interprofessional groups. Participants will receive resources to start their own writing groups or teams.

Teaching Methods: The workshop utilizes brief lectures, interactive Q&A sessions, and hands-on writing exercises. Participants will have access to resources, which remain accessible post-workshop.

Level of Interactivity: Moderate. The workshop includes interactive discussions, and individual consultations to apply learned concepts. Attendees would be encouraged to bring their laptops.

Agenda:

  • Writing Preparation: Organizing a writing team, authorship guidelines, choosing a journal, and writing an engaging title. (one hour)
  • Begin Writing: We will cover the initial process of writing an introduction, the study methods, presenting results, and formulas for the discussion section and abstract. (two hours)

 

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss and provide resources for authorship, journal selection, and organizing a writing team.
  • Structure the foundation for a manuscript, focusing on title development (hands-on activity), introduction, purpose statement (hands-on activity), and research questions.
  • Compose the methods section, display results effectively, and write a meaningful discussion section to include addressing the impact and limitations of the work.
