Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP/IPP) is a concept that is not always present in clinical practice today. Moreover, it is sometimes seen as an intangible concept for faculty members whose training did not include any interprofessional education (IPE). The Campbell University Office of IPE (CUIPE) believes the education of faculty and current practitioners to be integral to optimizing the learning experience for current students: as IPE is gradually added into general health…

In the health professions pipeline, attrition of Black students is a substantial issue. Black college students face several challenges, including a lack of academic integration and institutional support, resource barriers, and few role models. Nationally, Black students enter college at a similar rate to White students but change majors or leave college before receiving a degree (Wilbur et al., 2020). Black students often present high distress, isolation, depression, and anxiety (Soto et al…

Interprofessional education is an important element added into diagnostic imaging students’ didactic and clinical education. This research will build on a previous research conducted by Dr. Tracy Glentz which evaluated changes in diagnostic students’ attitudes and perceptions toward Interprofessional Education in the didactic setting of the students’ education. A pre/post survey format conducted at different time points will be performed to measure the changes, if any, in students’…

The Duke Interprofessional Education (IPE) Experience provides professional students the opportunity to participate in interprofessional clinical activities. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a novel pilot was developed to allow medical students to attend physical therapy sessions utilizing a hybrid virtual model. Students observed physical therapy sessions and discussed the session with the physical therapist and a faculty physician. In spring 2021, a novel pilot allowed medical…

This pilot study aims to empower chronic disease self-management strategies, foster improved individual and community health outcomes, as well as sustain interprofessional partnerships. Purposeful telehealth applications and re-envisioned clinical and didactic adaptations will enhance the provision of primary care in two at-risk, community-based populations. As partners in care, community members will collaborate longitudinally with undergraduate and graduate nursing students to navigate a…

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience health disparities and inadequate healthcare due partially to lack of knowledge about IDD among healthcare professionals. The Partnering to Transform Health Outcomes with Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PATH-PWIDD) Consortium, funded by the Administration for Community Living, is developing and integrating high-impact inclusive curricular materials and strategies into community-academic interprofessional…

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a pedagogical change with many learning events now virtual or hybrid in nature. Simulation events are particularly affected due to their hands-on nature. Traditionally, an in-person Facilitator Training and IPE Event Training Design course is held at our university. This has been adapted to a virtual Facilitating Virtual Simulations Crash Course, addressing the format/objectives/expectations and strategies for facilitators of virtual IP simulations.…

The COVID pandemic disrupted many long established interprofessional experiences that had been designed for traditional in-person delivery. When mandatory shutdowns began in April 2020, our campus IPE team was already in the midst of planning an in-person All Professions Day 1 (Fall 2020) and 2 (Spring 2021) that would each involve more than 1200 students and faculty from across three campuses. We decided to use our existing technology to produce these IPE events as planned. Immediate…
