Background: There is a paucity of data on the interprofessional collaborative practices of pharmacists and social workers. In particular, the potential for collaboration between these two professions to optimize medication use and reduce morbidity and mortality appears untapped. With increases in prescription drug use and polypharmacy among adults in the United States, identifying ways to enhance collaborations between pharmacists and social workers is essential. The aim of this study was to…
Desired attributes of a well-rounded medical provider include resilience, empathy, and sensitivity in patient communication. The Introduction of Health Humanities into Physician Assistant Education (IHAPAE) pilot study focuses on developing these attributes by introducing health humanities content into the established curriculum. This presentation discusses how IHAPAE emerged and provides an overview of the project. Our multidisciplinary collaborative team created content based on the Visual…
Although the field of palliative and end-of-life care is advancing, training pre-licensure students in collaboration and communication skills needs addressed. While trained in clinical skills, health professional students often begin their careers lacking experience and preparedness for intimate, patient conversations. This session will describe the implementation and assessment of a pilot study, “Say Hello,” with nursing and social work pre-licensure students. The aim of “Say Hello” was…
Background:At West Virginia University, health professions students participate in a year-long interprofessional education (IPE) program focused on the IPEC competencies. For teamwork, students participate in a “Mistake Room” - a hospital room that intentionally contains medical errors and room hazards.

When a healthcare professional makes a mistake, either real or perceived, what does their inner voice say? For many healthcare professionals, their inner voice can be unhealthy and detrimental to achieving the Quadruple Aim of Healthcare. Without an improved clinical experience on the healthcare professional side, the three other patient-centric aspects will not reach full potential. Most healthcare professionals would find it unconscionable to talk to others the way they talk to themselves…

Interprofessional education has been focused on student education and competency development to foster effective patient-centered communication between health professionals. However, explicitly including the patient’s and caregiver’s voice as members of the IPE team should be a core component of further IPE learning and competency development. Evidence demonstrates a correlation between effective health professional-patient communication and improved patient health outcomes (Riedl &…
Collaborative practice among interprofessional groups of health care providers is essential to the provision of safe and effective medical care. However, health professions training programs have not traditionally prepared students for interprofessional practice. One challenge in transforming health professions education programs has been a limited number of faculty prepared to teach students in an interprofessional learning environment. Thus, faculty development programs aimed at preparing…
