This Lightning Talk will highlight a university-wide series of online interprofessional education (IPE) modules completed synchronously without direct involvement of faculty facilitators. 977 first-year students representing 26 educational programs participated in interprofessional groups of 3-4 in a self-directed manner using just learner guides. Multiple modalities facilitated engagement, including interprofessional socialization exercises, mini-lectures augmented with video vignettes, and…

Addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) has been shown to improve patient outcomes while decreasing healthcare costs, both of which contribute to WHO’s Quadruple Aim. Interprofessional education (IPE) is a critical component in the learning process for healthcare professionals to be prepared to address clients’ unmet SDOH needs. The purpose of our project is to evaluate the effectiveness of using novel instructional methodologies to thread the SDOH domains and IPEC competencies…

Interprofessional education (IPE) experiences prepare students to translate their professional knowledge into efficient, patient-centered teamwork. The intent is for newly graduated students to transition smoothly onto interprofessional workplace teams.

While students feel prepared to join and participate on existing teams, they feel unprepared for how…

Clear health communication is essential in the pursuit of the Quadruple Aim. When patients and caregivers understand instructions for navigating health systems and engaging in their care, experience is enriched and outcomes are improved. Conversely, lack of understanding can contribute to missed appointments, suboptimal self-care, and a host of sequelae including avoidable readmissions, declining health, and increased costs. Unfortunately, most adults lack proficient health literacy skills…

Team based care is the hallmark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s recommendation for patient centered medical homes, which inspires quality, cultivates patient engagement, and improves costs. While the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality suggests that team training improves patient care and safety, training often continues to be largely inadequate. The challenge then is how to create opportunities for “teamness” or “collaborative competence” (Earnest, 2016) to occur…

Cultural competency is one of the main tenets of interprofessional education which is key to collaborative practice and cohesive health care service. Intrinsic to cultural competency and the broader concept of cultural safety is the recognition that cultural differences are not judged or defined by the dominant culture, an idea that is applicable to both culturally appropriate health care service and to multicultural and interprofessional education. With the globalization of the health care…
