Qualitative Evaluation Of Interprofessional Education Experiential Learning (Ipeel) For Health Professional Students, Kelle Deboth Foust, Madalynn Wendland, John Schaefer, Suzanne Giuffre, Donald Allensworth-Davies

Journal of Occupational Therapy Education

Interprofessional education (IPE) is critical for health professional students to form professional identities and develop collaborative skills. Although accrediting bodies mandate incorporating IPE, the effects of IPE programming on health professional students and the best pedagogical approach for achieving desirable outcomes are still unclear.

A one-shot case study design was used to collect data. Occupational therapy students participated in a one-hour lecture on transition planning and a three-hour lab wherein they learned how to administer transition planning inventories.

The Educational Experience Of Students Who Are Deaf And Hard Of Hearing In Kentucky, Emory Bell Jun 2019

The Educational Experience Of Students Who Are Deaf And Hard Of Hearing In Kentucky, Emory Bell

This led to me to wonder just what the educational experience of a child who is DHH in the state of Kentucky looked like. Through …
