Lightning Talk Live Discussion Recording

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 education team and learning with, from, and about each other to transition from siloed uniprofessional to interprofessional continuing education (IPCE). It takes an interprofessional team to deliver high quality healthcare that achieves the Quintuple Aim of improving the experience of care for people and providers and the health of populations, while reducing price/improving value, and ultimately achieving health equity.

This presentation will share one team’s journey toward an emerging model of interprofessional lifelong learning that approaches Joint Accreditation as one tool to arrive at this destination. It will highlight the pivotal role of continuing education professionals in preparing the current and future workforce for collaborative practice through interprofessional continuing education and demonstrate a process by which the continuing education professional serves as a planner and leader while learning with, from, and about their practice partners. Presenters will share the story of the model’s inception and co-creation by an organization-wide diverse interprofessional team. Participants will learn about the crucial role of continuing education in interprofessional lifelong learning. The team’s planning and evaluation process, and a sample program case study, will be shared so participants can tailor this model to their own practice settings.
