Early interprofessional education (IPE) experiences can optimally position students for ongoing interprofessional learning and practice. A team from an academic health center’s newly established Center for Interprofessional Education and Care collaborated to create virtual IPE events for three different health professions programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.The purpose of this session is to describe the virtual IPE “Primer” learning experiences, instructional content, evaluation…

A commonly used method to measure IPE learning outcomes is through the use of validated IPE perception or attitudinal questionnaires. Perception change can be measured using a retrospective pre-/post-test design (RPP). A RPP survey is administered at a single point after the intervention, and asks participants to reflect on a timepoint before the experience, thus keeping the frame of reference constant, eliminating response shift bias (Howard, 1980). Faculty at a U.S. based academic…

Health Career Collaborative (HCC) is a national pipeline program that partners with medical schools to mentor high school students traditionally underrepresented in healthcare using an innovative curriculum. Studies demonstrate the success of pipeline programs in increasing diversity in medicine, which is necessary in addressing the equally diverse health needs of patients to improve health equity. The final deliverable for the curriculum is a virtual health fair organized by the students to…

Interprofessional collaboration is essential to faculty development. This support fosters security and collegiality, vital for novice educators entering higher education. These clinicians are experts in their field, but many have no background or formal training in teaching. Through shared knowledge and experiences, both the seasoned and novice faculty demonstrate professional growth and continuous improvement, which furthers faculty development.Research indicates mentorship programs…

This project addresses the conference theme of “Innovations in Interprofessional Learning: in Practice and/or Education.” Students who desire leadership positions or in various health administration programs often do not work together until they have graduated and are working in healthcare settings. This is a disadvantage for them when they work in resolving urgent matters within healthcare. Our hope was that students would develop confidence in learning about and from each other, and…

The complexity in caring for older adults necessitates interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). To enhance competence in geriatrics and IPCP, a team comprised of MD, NP, PA, and DPT students provided annual wellness visits (AWV) and follow-up visits for older adults in a half-day hybrid telehealth/in-person clinic over 4-to-21-week blocks with direct interprofessional (IP) faculty observation with a focus on mobility, mentation, medications, multi-complexity, and what matters most to…
