Presenting at CAB 2025:
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 workshop uses the moral commons framework along with application of a Dialogic Engagement Model as a structure for interprofessional team clinical reasoning analysis of current complex ethical dilemmas. Group discussion will include identification of key strategies to support teamwork, such as relational coordination, and opportunities for future research.
