What And How Do Students Learn In An Interprofessional Student-Run Clinic? An Educational Framework For Teambased Care, Désirée A. Lie, Christopher Forest, Anne Walsh, Yvonne Banzali, Kevin Lohenry

Background: The student-run clinic (SRC) has the potential to address interprofessional learning among
health professions students.
Purpose: To derive a framework for understanding student learning during team-based care provided in an
interprofessional SRC serving underserved patients.
Methods: The authors recruited students for a focus group study by purposive sampling and snowballing.
They constructed two sets of semi-structured questions for uniprofessional and multiprofessional groups.
Sessions were audiotaped, and transcripts were independently coded and adjudicated. Major themes about
learning content and processes were extracted. Grounded theory was followed after data synthesis and
interpretation to establish a framework for interprofessional …

Evaluating Interprofessional Team Performance: A Faculty Rater Tool, Christopher Forest, Désirée A. Lie, Sae Byul (Sarah) Ma

Introduction: Reliable team assessment has become a priority because of growing emphasis on
interprofessional education and team-based care. Objective rating scales are needed to evaluate
interprofessional student teams and individuals and provide real-time feedback. Methods: In response to
a need for behavioral rating scales, we modified the McMaster-Ottawa Scale from a 9-point to a 3-point
scale and added descriptive behavioral anchors to define three levels of competency (i.e., below, at, and
above expected). This modification is intended to provide consistent rating of individuals and teams in
patient settings. We then developed a demonstration video using actors representing four professions to …

Adapting The Mcmaster-Ottawa Scale And Developing Behavioral Anchors For Assessing Performance In An Interprofessional Team Observed Structured Clinical Encounter, Désirée Lie, Win May, Regina Richter-Lagha, Christopher Forest, Yvonne Banzali, Kevin Lohenry

Background: Current scales for interprofessional team performance do not provide adequate behavioral anchors for performance evaluation. The Team Observed Structured Clinical Encounter (TOSCE) provides an opportunity to adapt and develop an existing scale for this purpose. We aimed to test the feasibility of using a retooled scale to rate performance in a standardized patient encounter and to assess faculty ability to accurately rate both individual students and teams.
Methods: The 9-point McMaster-Ottawa Scale developed for a TOSCE was converted to a 3-point scale with behavioral anchors. Students from four professions were trained a priori to perform in teams …
