Standardized Patients with Lived Experience in the Development, Implementation and Evaluation of a 2S-LGBTQ+ IPE Simulation Supporting Patient-partners when Sharing Their Lived Experiences in Health Professional Education

Lightning Talk Description: People living with chronic health concerns have important life and health care experiences that can enrich interprofessional education (IPE). For over 10 years, Patient & Community Partnership for Education has coordinated an Interprofessional Health Mentors program (HMP) at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. The HMP is an elective educational experience in which teams of students from different disciplines learn from and with a mentor who is an expert by experience in living with or caring for someone with a chronic condition or disability. The program is an innovative educational technology that provides learning relevant to interprofessional competencies with an emphasis on patient/client-centred collaborative practice.

The HMP offers a flexible option for IPE that can be adapted for different contexts. UBC’s model is currently being piloted at Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Brazil with 5 mentors from a peer support program at a local multidisciplinary clinic specializing in treating patients with Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV) and 16 students from medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, and psychology. We will describe an international partnership to adapt this innovative program from Vancouver, Canada to Salvador, Brazil. Using the partnership as a case study we will describe the similarities and differences in key program features such as the role of faculty and supports needed to enable participation of mentors and students who have different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Key principles behind the changes made and lessons relevant to engaging patients as teachers in IPE in different contexts will be presented.
