This workshop about a team-based care clinic, Buprenorphine Clinic, for individuals with substance use disorder provides discussions regarding the practice of psychological safety and understanding that trust and harm reduction build a bridge to recovery. The workshop will touch on three of the five aims in the Quintuple Aim. It addresses patient experience by building trust with patients in recovery in a safe space, discusses population health with the use of buprenorphine as a harm reduction strategy, and focuses on improving the wellness of the healthcare team through the implementation of psychological safety.

When people (students, faculty, professionals, etc.) think of IPE, what often first comes to mind are the basic ideas and excitement for the core competency of Roles and Responsibilities. In course evaluations from students regarding IPE the question often sounds like, "Can you just tell me what everyone can do?" And the disappointment often sounds like, "I didn't feel like I actually learned about other professions’ roles." Despite educators’ great ideas and intentions, methods of teaching toward this competency often leave learners in a negative state - feeling left out, undervalued, overly generalized, erroneously stereotyped, etc. But there is hope! This session offers participants the ability to reach a shared mental model regarding what is possible for competency in Roles and Responsibilities. The presenters will discuss the depth and breadth of the subject to be mastered, the history of professional roles, an atypical series of thought bursts to alter mind-set, and the methods anyone can use to establish a healthy foundation for lifelong learning in Roles and Responsibilities.

Using retrospective case studies of two university-wide IPE programs, participants discern best practices in immersive experiential learning that ultimately translates into lifelong learning and workforce development. Participants identify characteristics that deeply engage students from all professions, synthesize best practices, and pinpoint enabling and distracting factors affecting outcomes.
