This innovative, customizable clinical rotation model immerses healthcare learners in experiential interprofessional education, involving collaboration with diverse professionals in nursing, dentistry, audiology, speech-language pathology, and medicine. Using a validated assessment tool and reflective practices, the program develops essential team-based care skills, bridging gaps in pre-licensure training and advancing patient-centered outcomes.

Food insecurity among healthcare students impacts mental health, educational outcomes, and interprofessional socialization. This presentation explores sustainable food banks as a potential solution, using Maslow’s hierarchy and Gruppen’s learning environment framework to assess the effects on food security, loneliness, and interprofessional learning environments to promote student well-being and success.

This presentation discusses how health professions students assessed fall risk among older adults in assisted living facilities. Interprofessional student teams developed care plans with the aim of enhancing patient safety. The initiative improved student competencies, fostered collaboration, and provided actionable recommendations to mitigate fall risk, benefiting both students and residents.

During this session, we will describe our experience in building and training a diverse facilitator cohort for IPE workshops that includes both teaching faculty and clinicians from different professions, disciplines and settings. The assessment of the impact of participation in IPE facilitator training and workshops on facilitators will be presented.

An IPE center created a data-driven, tiered recognition system for faculty and staff facilitators to formally recognize and reward their contributions to IPE, provide extrinsic motivation for participation, and maintain a pipeline of skilled IPE facilitators. Evaluation will include facilitator retention, satisfaction, and effectiveness.
