Description
Background:
Physicians are often expected to participate with teams of health professionals; however, postgraduate training infrequently includes interprofessional (IP) or team training.
Purpose:
This curriculum was developed to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes which lead to successful IP collaboration.
Curriculum:
During a four-week geriatrics rotation, medicine interns complete a fifty-minute, in-person, multimedia lecture to introduce the IP collaborator concept and the Canadian and American IP competency frameworks. The IP pocket card is demonstrated and interns complete a guided, team-meeting video observation exercise. Using a Survey Monkey, narrative reporting tool, interns analyze team competencies that they observe or initiate during geriatrics team meetings during the rotation. They report on two interactions. They complete a closing Survey Monkey questionnaire and have an in-person debriefing.
Results:
We will have quantitative and qualitative data on interns’ recognition of IP collaborator competencies.
Conclusion:
Recognition of IP collaborator competencies will provide a framework for improving health professional effectiveness for systems-based care.
Relevance to IP education or practice:
Disseminating IP competencies. Learning Objectives: 1. The audience will be able to describe a new strategy for teaching IP competencies to health professionals. 2. The audience will become aware of a new method for combining the Canadian and American IP competencies.
