Healthcare professionals from pharmacy, emergency nursing, home health nursing, and medical imaging…

Lightning Talk Description: Dual identity development has been proposed to be central to interprofessional collaborative practice. This requires the formation of an interprofessional identity along with professional identity development. Existing literature suggests longitudinal, integrated interprofessional programs may enhance interprofessional identity formation, but further research to determine critical learning modalities in these programs is needed. Our institution conducts a 2-semester…

Lightning Talk Description:  Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) is necessary to prepare health professions’ students for collaborative practice as an important component of the Quadruple Aim; however, the prescription for curriculum content and delivery is unclear.

Lightning Talk Description: The interprofessional education (IPE) literature has noted benefits of engaging pre-health learners (Dumke, VanderWielen, Harris, & Ford-Smith, 2016) and engaging health professional students in IPE early in their academic journey (Langendyke, Hegazi, Cowin, Johnson, & Wilson, 2015). A benefit of early IPE engagement includes exposure to a variety of health professions before stereotypes develop or profession-concentric views (Gunaldo et al., 2021; Pecukonis…

The Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative's (HPAC) guidance document on developing quality interprofessional education (IPE) for the health professions underscores the importance of utilizing shared terminology, providing clear rationale, and intentionally and longitudinally integrating interprofessional learning activities into professional curricula.

We have been an informal community of…

Lightning Talk Description: The health consequences of climate change and the social determinants of health have emerged as major public health concerns that disproportionately impact our low-income and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. Health professionals are in a unique position to address them, yet health professions education programs fail to include this essential content in the curriculum. To prepare graduates to care for a diverse society, priority must be given to…

Lightning Talk Description: Interprofessional education is part of many health professional programs. Substantial efforts have been made in designing and implementing interprofessional sessions particularly within the didactic curriculum using the IPEC Core Competencies. Once students leave these didactic experiences and enter the clinical practice setting, it is our expectations that they will use their knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the delivery of collaborative, integrated care. However…

Lightning Talk Description: Use of experiential learning (EL) as a teaching strategy for students in healthcare disciplines has been reported in the literature; however, there has not been a synthesis of literature specific to EL in the development of interprofessional practice (IPP) competencies among these students. Although often regarded as “hands-on” training, EL in a formal education context entails a repeated cyclical sequence of stages that a learner progresses through to gain knowledge…

Lightning Talk Description:  Description. Readiness for interprofessional (IP) practice is a key objective of interprofessional education (IPE). Little is known about whether IPE interventions orient towards a range of practice possibilities. In this study, we engaged in a literature review to explore: (1) how IPE interventions relate to different kinds of IP practice and (2) the range of IP implicitly or explicitly assumed by the IPE interventions. Methods. We searched four databases for…

Lightning Talk Description: Traditional approaches to interprofessional education focus on health professions students, who then graduate to find themselves employed in practice settings where the workplace culture does not support collaborative practice. The continuing education team is the missing link to overcoming this hidden curriculum and preparing the current and future workforce for interprofessional collaborative practice. It takes planning and leading by and for the continuing…

Lightning Talk Description:  Background: Useful and timely feedback on students’ proficiency in the Interprofessional Practice and Education (IPE) competencies is critical to the success of any IPE Program. As the length, breadth, and complexity of IPE curricula present logistical challenges, educators struggle to achieve these feedback goals in an efficient way that benefits students’ long-term interprofessional identity development. Some programs include IPE activities using Team-based…

Lightning Talk Description: The World Health Organization (WHO) Rehabilitation Competency Framework (RCF) is a model aimed at communicating expected performance of the rehabilitation workforce across professions, and settings to enable quality care and service delivery; it describes competencies, behaviors, and tasks relevant to all rehabilitation professionals.

Lightning Talk Description: Healthcare professionals require knowledge and skills to work collaboratively with diverse populations with multiple health care professionals and service delivery systems across the continuum of care in a variety of settings (community, emergency department, inpatient, and outpatient primary care). Such knowledge and skills are increasingly important amidst the needs of vulnerable populations such as immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. IPE is the requisite to…

Lightning Talk Description:  Health professional programs must create learning environments conducive to interprofessional teams to prepare students for their expert roles. Interprofessional Education (IPE) activities are ideal for simulating the collaborative practice environment. Within IPE activities, students must learn to care for patients' physical and mental health needs across their lifespans. Our institution needed IPE offerings highlighting patient diversity, equity, and social…

Food insecurity (FI) is defined as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy lifestyle. It most often occurs in households with income near or below the federal poverty line. In 2021, over 10% of the U.S. population met criteria for FI, 12.5% for households with children. Our state ranks 2nd worst at 15%. Average assistance benefits provide $1.40/person/meal, but the average meal costs $3.02/person. Families face choices of food vs utilities, education, transportation,…

Quality Improvement (QI) principles apply across health professions, yet curriculum is often limited prior to post-graduate training. A QI learning activity was adopted in a campus-wide IPE curriculum. This supports The Classroom and Beyond theme by introducing health system and workflow improvement processes applying across practice sites. Interprofessional teams of 6-10 respond to a ‘Call for Proposals’ from institutional, community, or state partners targeting the Quadruple Aim. Topics…

Lightning Talk Description: Microaggressions are a “form of disrespect, devaluation, prejudice, and exclusion of the recipients” that arise from conscious or unconscious bias (Ehie et al. 2021). Studies show that in clinical practice, microaggressions perpetuate health disparities and have a detrimental impact on outcomes as well as negatively influence the patient and provider relationship.

The Transgender Interprofessional Care Team includes professors from social work, nursing, and…

Lightning Talk Description: To improve patient outcomes and community health, we must recognize how unconscious bias continues to disrupt quality, equitable care. Health educators can address bias and improve outcomes by intentionally including these discussions throughout the curriculum. As uncomfortable as these conversations can sometimes be, one must examine their values and social identities they hold to be able to recognize unconscious biases and stop them from impacting the safety of…

Lightning Talk Description:  Background: As racial and ethnic health disparities continue to plague the United States health care system, health profession educators have been called to action to train the next generation of health professionals on the causes and solutions to these health inequities.1 The newly proposed revisions to the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies highlight the importance of IPE curricula in this mission to “advocate for social justice and…

Lightning Talk Description: Description of the Lightening Talk: Health professional students are adults and are thus at the post-conventional level of the Kohlberg model of moral development. But within this post-conventional stage, we find a wide variety of understanding and lived experience.
