Presenting at CAB 2025:
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.
This proposal describes an innovative pilot aimed at undergraduate pre-health learners across eight programs and three University campuses. We were able to meet our objectives of exposing undergraduate students to core IPE competencies and expanding their knowledge of healthcare careers, making this a successful model for other programs.
The Interprofessional Education (IPE) TEAMS Activities, adapted from the University of Toronto, were piloted among undergraduate nursing students during clinical placements. TEAMS 1 focused on understanding interprofessional roles, and TEAMS 2 on analyzing interactions. Findings suggested potential increases in interprofessional socialization and the need for better integration into nursing curriculums.
Join us for the IPE Student Organization Engagement Session, where we will share and discuss the valuable feedback provided by student leaders and brainstorm plans to address the suggestions. This event will also offer an in-depth overview of the mission, services available, and initiatives of the C-IPE, fostering a stronger connection and collaboration between the IPE student organizations and the C-IPE
This study examines baseline leadership and conflict styles among health science students, utilizing Path-Goal Theory and TKI frameworks. Findings reveal critical insights into the interplay between leadership and conflict resolution in interprofessional education, informing strategies for developing effective collaborative practices among students in preparation for practicing in healthcare settings.
Explore practical strategies for building sustainable community health partnerships using the University of Michigan's Interprofessional Toolkit. Participants will be guided in planning, implementing, and evaluating community partnerships and educational experiences through site selection, needs assessments, and action plan development, fostering deeper community engagement while enhancing health profession learners’ outcomes.
