Interprofessional Service Learning In The Dominican Republic To Promote Ipec Competencies, Megan C. Lieb, Christina Liebrecht

Nursing Faculty Scholarship

According to the Institute of Medicine, “all health professionals should be educated to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interdisciplinary team”. Patient care is multifaceted, transcending any one discipline. The key to improved patient outcomes is collaborative practice. Service learning is one educational opportunity which allows students to work in partnership with learners from other health related disciplines to deliver care in underserved communities, and develop much needed competency in interprofessional collaboration. A mixed methods study was conducted to determine if participation in an interprofessional service learning experience will positively affect student achievement of interprofessional competencies. The IPEC Competency …

Servant Leadership Towards Cultural Competency And Critical Thinking: A Mixed Methods Study In Zambia, Jill Marie Brown

Occupational Therapy Program Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

There is a paucity of occupational therapy literature related to the professional development process that occurs when students participate in immersive, international servant leadership experiences in developing countries. A scarcity of literature exists on how such culturally rich experiences can influence the development of the participating students’ dispositional critical thinking and cultural competency skill sets. This mixed methods study depicts how a 3-week servant leadership experience in Zambia, Africa, measured the acquisition of dispositional critical thinking and cultural competency skill sets in novice to experienced occupational therapy students. Moreover, this study infuses a constructivist grounded theory approach to uncover a …

Thus Sayeth The Matthean Lord: Exploring The Intersection Of The Quest For The Historical Jesus And The Proclaimation Of The Biblical Jesus, Edward T. Wright

The Asbury Journal

The themes of Biblical Studies and mission meet in a significant way at the intersection of the quest for the historical Jesus (an aspect of biblical studies) and the proclamation of the biblical Jesus (an aspect of the mission of the Church). This intersection undoubtedly occurs in the context we currently find ourselves, the evangelical seminary setting. This paper explores a passage, Matthew 4:-11, that has both significant theological content but also some rather difficult historical issues. When confronted with this type of problem, is it possible to navigate the passage in such a way that the historical Jesus and …

2019-August-Global Experiences, Bill Gatton College Of Pharmacy, East Tennessee State University, University Marketing And Communication, East Tennessee State University

ETSU News

On a trip this summer to Uganda, Gatton’s student group, led by Dr. Susie Crowe, learned very quickly that the resource-limited country didn’t have access to the same healthcare resources that they were used to having.

“The hospitals were frequently out of medications,” said Crowe, director of experiential education. “As pharmacists, we had to make other recommendations, like changing an antibiotic to something that was available, or reallocate resources or medications.” 

While working with limited resources was a major challenge, the students soon understood how much they were learning from the experience. 

“We hold a lot of knowledge that can …

A Failed Water Intervention In The Haitian Central Plateau, Christine M. Platt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Secular and non-secular mission efforts to developing countries continue to grow and voluntourism is at an all-time high. The literature is corpulent with examples of failed mission health interventions. However, a noticeable gap exists of studies that address conflict leading to intervention failures as a result of intercultural communication. The purpose of this exploratory is to better understand intercultural communication challenges existing in short-term medical missions (STMMs) by better understanding the lived experience of participants of a clean water intervention in the Haitian Central Plateau. The intervention was planned and executed after the devastating 2010 earthquake and resulting cholera outbreak. …
