Lightning Talk Description:
Background: As the US population ages, many older adults with dementia rely on family caregivers for health-related care and daily activities. Issues associated with caregiver burden in this setting are well-documented, including caregivers’ diminished quality of life and health. Strong interprofessional care is required to support family caregivers and maximize patient outcomes, and students must be prepared for this environment. Building upon the interprofessional education (IPE) literature demonstrating the effectiveness of simulation to advance…
Poster Description: Background: While critical to improving learning and health care outcomes, large-scale clinical interprofessional education (IPE) within authentic clinical learning environments (CLEs) remains challenging. As a bridge to transition from preclinical to clinical IPE at a large academic health center, our team designed and piloted a self-guided, para-clinical IPE experience that will allow hundreds of interprofessional student groups to apply IPEC-derived teamwork concepts learned together to their individual experiences within CLEs. Results from this initial para-clinical…
Lightning Talk Description: This Lightning Talk will describe a key component of UT Health San Antonio’s commitment to advancing interprofessional education (IPE)—the Linking Interprofessional Networks for Collaboration (LINC) Core IPE Measurement Plan. This university-wide project involved development, implementation, and analysis of a set of core IPE measures for all students at our university, with the explicit goal of embedding a standardized assessment/evaluation mechanism as an expectation for all schools to capture uniform IPE learning outcomes across campus.
