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.

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.

This presentation reports the findings of a literature review to understand the landscape of debriefing among pre-licensure healthcare students after interprofessional experiential activities (IPEAs). Given the gaps uncovered, the U-M Center for Interprofessional Education shares how they developed the TEAMS REFLECT Tool to facilitate interprofessional debriefing among students after IPEAs.

The C-ICE 2. aligns with the 2023 IPEC Core Competencies to assess interprofessional team behaviors. This presentation highlights updates to the tool, reliability and validity testing results, and its implications for advancing interprofessional education.

This session explores the design and implementation of an interprofessional escape room activity involving nurse practitioner and paramedicine students. Attendees will learn how this innovative approach enhances teamwork, communication, and role understanding in acute care settings, fostering essential skills for effective interprofessional collaboration in healthcare.
