“In All Of Our Differences We Are Humanly Similar”: International Service Learning (Isl) And Interprofessional Education (Ipe) In Ecuador, Audrey Johnson, Dpt, Dana Howell, Phd, Otd, Otr/L

JCIPE Conference

a. Purpose:

The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to describe the shared experience of interprofessional health profession students participating in a service learning trip to Ecuador.

b. Background:

Few studies have examined interprofessional service learning (ISL) and interprofessional education (IPE) together. Students in short-term ISL/ IPE projects report an appreciation of the work of other health professions and respect for interprofessional teamwork. These results suggest that IPE occurring during ISL can contribute to development of interprofessional teamwork skills; however, further research examining the link between ISL and IPE is warranted.

Developing And Evaluating Teamwork Skills Using An Interprofessional Simulated Discharge Planning Meeting, E. Adel Herge, Otd, Otr/L, Leigh Ann Hewston, Pt, Med, Elena Umland, Pharmd, Lindsay Johnson, Ots

JCIPE Conference

Purpose: The Clinical Discharge Scenario (CDS) provides students the opportunity to work as an interprofessional team in a simulated scenario. Evaluating student competence in teamwork skills provides insight into their ability to work as effective team members.

Background: A literature review reveals the majority of tools assessing student learning in interprofessional education (IPE) measure satisfaction, attitudes and knowledge (Abu-Rish et al., 2012). Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model proposes a hierarchy of changes as a result of training (Kirkpatrick, 1979). At the highest level is transfer of learning to change behavior. Assessment of IPE influenced behavior change is limited (Abu-Rish et al., 2012). …

The Effects Of Interprofessional Pediatric End-Of-Life Simulation On Communication And Role Understanding In Health Professions Students: A Pharmacy Perspective, Jacqueline Stout, Phd, Rn, Alison Pittman, Msn, Rn, Cpn, Regina Bentley, Edd, Rn, Cne, Jerry Livingston, Bsn, Msn, Phd, Bree Watzak, Pharmd

JCIPE Conference

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of an interprofessional pediatric end-of life simulation for medical students, nursing students, pharmacy students, and public health students.

JCIPE Conference

Goals for interprofessional education include preparing students to work in collaborative practice, teaching them how to work in teams and to asses and improve the quality of patient care. (Barr, 2007, Thibault, 2013). Four core competency domains have been established to inform interprofessional education (Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2011). These are ethics/values, roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication and teams/teamwork. Various pedagogical approaches have been used to help students meet these competencies. The Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation (2013) recommends development and implementation of innovative models to link interprofessional education and practice.

Increasing Ipe Awareness Through Social Media And Leveraging Visual Content, Abigail Sherburne, Bs, Shoshana Sicks, Edm

JCIPE Conference

Background:

Social networking is the most popular online activity and increasingly where students, health professionals, and patients get information[i]. In a 2015 student survey at an urban health sciences university, social media was the second most preferred method of communication.

JCIPE Conference

Historically, education has been siloed by disciplines leaving little room for interprofessional education to take place. Culture within an academic organization determines the strategies, modes of operation, goals, values, and terminal student learning outcomes. Using Kotter’s accelerated change management model, as a worksheet for educational cultural change, is an effective method to break complacency, generate ideas, align people, and overcome resistance to change.
