This interactive workshop introduces how an IPE Center team and Area Health Education Centers’ (AHEC) directors led efforts to deliver Breaking the Cycle of Addiction: A Collaborative Recovery Experience where learners, local agency representatives, and community partners interacted to learn “about, from, and with” each other. Attendees will leave the workshop with a draft plan to create a program related to a public health concern or curricular gap topic.

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital embarked on a review of the Collaborative Practice & Clinical Education Model that has been in place for over 15 years. Through targeted focus groups, environmental scan, and literature review, four themes and recommendations for model optimization were found.

The session highlights how an urban community safety net clinic collaborates with a local university as a site for interprofessional healthcare education and practice. Not only does this clinic serve the underserved but also demonstrates benefits for students and future practitioners.

Finding unconventional ways to address clinical challenges faced in settings primarily occupied by learners can be challenging. This lecture aims to demonstrate how simulation-based learning in an interprofessional setting can effectively tackle clinical challenges head on.

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.
