This study examined OT student learning outcomes from an introductory longitudinal community-based IPE experience with other health professions learners and community volunteers. Results indicated students practiced several specific teamwork skills throughout the experience, and recognized how interprofessional teamwork and client-centered care will be skills to use in the future.

This project addresses the critical shortage of accessible psychiatric-mental healthcare through development of a comprehensive interprofessional assessment tool. Created through systematic review, community engagement, and collaborative practice, the tool integrates social care and interprofessional healthcare teams to improve holistic service delivery for vulnerable populations at an urban community healthcare clinic.

Health care teams must collaborate in novel ways to meet the complexity of care needs. An Interpretive Description study of the competencies needed to guide collaborative practice is presented, including emphases on patient safety, cultural humility, social determinants of access to care, and inclusion of patients and families as decision-makers.

This presentation highlights the importance of community-led interventions and intersectoral partnerships in supporting stroke caregivers during hospital-to-home transitions. Drawing from a rapid review, it explores effective strategies, challenges, and gaps in current care models. Actionable recommendations for improving caregiver support through integrated care approaches will be shared, with a focus on Ontario, Canada.

A mixed-methods design studied nine interprofessional “tele-teams” of health science students and stroke survivors that met across six sessions to improve mastery of a desired goal. Stroke survivors demonstrated relative mastery; student measures of team function and Relational Coordination also improved, indicating that team development occurred in the tele-team environment.

This study highlights the effectiveness of an ATOSCE in advancing interprofessional competencies among dental and optometry students. Through role-playing and reflective exercises, students gained valuable insights into patient care, emphasizing empathy, communication, and collaboration, critical for delivering equitable and holistic healthcare.

This presentation will reveal the national landscape of interprofessional education (IPE) curricula and assessment practices. It will identify key trends, challenges, and gaps, providing valuable insights for institutions seeking to enhance IPE programs and develop more standardized, evidence-based approaches to IPE curriculum and assessment.

This research sought to define the current state of IPE in Canada and in what ways are perspectives from the social sciences and humanities integrated therein. We will share models of innovative IPE and opportunities for improved collaboration between higher education and healthcare sectors.

Are low-resource approaches as effective as live simulation for improving knowledge and attitudes about interprofessional quality improvement and patient safety among pre-licensure students ? We compared three approaches to help us decide how to spend our resources. Find out what we learned!

This analysis compared the effectiveness of three IPE/CP delivery methods: in-person with and without Standardized Patients (SPs), and virtual. Results showed significant improvements in student learning across all methods, with the greatest gains in the in-person method without SPs. Virtual methods enhance participation and diversity, offering cost-effective alternatives.
