Sessions

This presentation will share best practices in interprofessional education (IPE) grounded in core JEDI values and skill sets. Three exemplar active-learning activities that 1) shape behaviors for anti-oppressive, equitable care delivery, 2) advocate for social justice and equity, and 3) build on the core competency of JEDI as a life-long learning process will be described.

This presentation will share our design and outcomes of a multi-modal faculty development program aimed to improve confidence and competence in debriefing interprofessional simulations containing racial and gender-based microaggressions. Learn how this initiative prepared faculty to lead JEDI conversations and reinforced a commitment to psychologically safe, anti-oppressive, interprofessional learning.

This session discusses the value of layered learning through training interested students to be facilitators for large-scale IPE activities. After this session, participants will be able to recognize opportunities for student facilitation, identify mentors for student facilitation collaboration, and describe benefits of students learning the principles of facilitation/debriefing.

This oral presentation provides an overview of a uni-professional preparation to enhance healthcare students’ preparedness for IPE. Faculty from nursing and social welfare will share their perspectives on the impact the workshop had on their students.

As a component of broader organizational efforts to improve equitable access to services, we introduced a Social Needs Screening (SNS) Initiative and a Family Navigation Hub in 2020. The Family Navigation Hub aims to address unmet social needs in a systematic, evidence-informed way. The model aims to: 1. IDENTIFY: Identify unmet social needs related to food security, housing stability, child care, transportation, utilities, health care costs, health literacy and supportive community connections through the use of an evidence based screening tool (adapted internally for our pediatric setting), 2. CONNECT: Enhancing our relationships with community partners to better support social needs (e.g., a series of CommunityCONNECT workshops which we co-deliver with a community agency), 3. ADDRESS: Creation of internal ‘action pathways’ to support unmet social needs, including referrals for individualized support in the Family Navigation Hub where we provide navigation interventions and warm handovers with community partners, 4. LINK: Fostering of personalized linkages to resources and services to address unmet social needs. This systematic approach to screening for social needs ensures all families are equitably offered the opportunity to share challenges that could otherwise interfere with their ability to fully participate in, and benefit from the care and services they receive.
