Description
Objectives:
Learners attending this presentation/workshop will:
- Discuss the current trends in an interprofessional education curriculum
- Explore the possible pinnacles and pitfalls in developing an IPE educational curriculum, including institutional support for IPE programs
- Acquire the skills to develop simulation cases that foster interprofessional objectives
Interprofessional collaboration and teamwork among health care professionals is essential to provide safe, high quality patient care. Unfortunately, dismantling of the existing educational silos between disciplines is fraught with challenges. Success requires multidisciplinary commitment and leadership, and must occur early in each student’s educational training. Although gaining popularity, interprofessional education (IPE) and communication is not commonly a focus in all health care disciplines.
Drexel University ‘s College of Medicine and College of Nursing and Health Professions have developed a successful IPE curriculum in Women’s Health, built on a foundation of simulation and communication. Occurring three days per academic year over the last five years, the curriculum engages OB/GYN and anesthesia residents, undergraduate nursing, nurse practitioner, nurse anesthesia, physician assistant and midwifery students in outpatient and inpatient scenarios with active participant communication activities that crescendo through the year. Expert faculty with enhanced credentials in multi-fidelity simulation, Debriefing with Good JudgmentTM, and TeamSTEPPSTM participate in faculty development and interactive curriculum review to provide learners with rigorous, life-like experiences while learning to appropriately give bad news, handle stressful situations, and discuss important health related issues in a collaborative environment.
The Drexel University Partnership for Interprofessional Education (DU-PIE) has presented workshops and live demonstrations nationally to teach faculty and staff how to devise an interprofessional curriculum for their institutions. Pinnacles and pitfalls encountered during the development and roll out of the Drexel model can assist programs to sustain and further enrich IPE programs. This interactive workshop will consist of a brief presentation, a small group activity to assist faculty and professional staff in creating the building blocks of an IPE simulation program including identifying stakeholders, lobbying for administrative support, and developing simulation cases that incorporate multidisciplinary IPE objectives, and group debriefing to share gained insights.
