Description: This session will describe a year-long professional development program for experienced educators from multiple health professions and disciplines. This program provides both didactics on adult learning principles and practical instruction on curriculum development through a team-based project. Instructional methods for this virtual program included interactive presentations, small group discussion, mentoring, and project-driven activities. Instructional content includes a stepwise approach to curriculum design and implementation as well as professional development around collaborative leadership, diversity and equity, and self-care. Program outcomes were measured with pre and post program surveys focusing on participants’ perceived changes in knowledge, skills, and attitudes, in addition to project completion and scholarly dissemination. Results from participant learning outcomes will be reported and lessons learned from program faculty and staff will be shared.
A discussion of how the Summit theme will be addressed: Advancement of interprofessional education and collaborative practice is dependent upon health professions educators who have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to design and implement interprofessional educational experiences. This session will describe the content, instructional methods, and outcomes of a year-long virtual professional development program at an academic medical center. Presenters will also share about the types of projects completed, lessons learned, and considerations for co-designing professional development programs.
