Interprofessional Education and Practice Other Education Programs The Heart of Healthcare - How a Diverse Group of Professionals Impact Our Patients Empowering New Mothers – Interprofessional Care for Pregnant Patients with Epilepsy Learning Through Gamification: How Residents and Fellows Identify Errors Through A Game Model Overall Goal: To educate faculty, trainees, students and staff on the principles of interprofessional education and interprofessional collaborative practice to establish a culture of interprofessional teams working together to provide high value care for our patients. The definitions for Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPCP) vary across sources, but we have adopted World Health Organization’s definitions: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is an approach to teaching and learning that brings together students from two or more professions to learn about, from, and with each other in service of enabling effective collaboration. The goal of IPE is to improve health outcomes through the education of a practice-ready health care team that is prepared to respond to local health needs (WHO, 2010). Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPCP), or “Practice Transformation,” in health care occurs when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds provide comprehensive services by working with patients, their families, carers and communities to deliver the highest quality of care across setting (WHO, 2010). The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) states that, “interprofessional collaborative practice drives safe, high-quality, accessible, person-centered care and improved health outcomes” (2019). AimTo provide health science students, trainees and professionals with the education and collaborative skills needed to deliver patient-centered care that is inclusive, evidence-based, culturally-responsive, and equitable.
