Interprofessional Practice Education for Health Professional Students
Sponsor: Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences
Summary
The interprofessional practice \& education curriculum for the students to be employed in this study will include five modalities in a scaffolded structure progressing from low- to high-fidelity experiences over a two-year period: (1) classroom didactic sessions; (2) simulation laboratory sessions; (3) standardized patient sessions; (4) community-based clinical case conferences; and, (5) community-based interprofessional rotations. Clinicians will experience many of the same learning experiences as the students, but will differ in the level of education and its focus. Clinicians and faculty will be taught the concepts of interprofessional practice \& education, the same as the students, but they will also be taught how to educate students using interprofessional practice \& education.
