A variety of factors have been identified in the literature as limiting or facilitating IPE program success (Abu-Rish et al., 2012). Factors such as learner-level compatibility and perceived relevance to students’ future practice may influence student reactions to IPE curricula (Abu-Rish et al., 2012; McGregor et al., 2018), thereby negatively influencing student-centered outcomes of program success. The present research examined factors that may influence students’ perceptions of…

Background: Generating scholarly output is a perpetual challenge for health sciences faculty who often juggle heavy teaching and practice workloads. At UT Health San Antonio, where clinical faculty are the primary drivers of interprofessional education (IPE) activity across campus, this challenge resonates. In response, members of Linking Interprofessional Networks for Collaboration (LINC), an institution-wide initiative to advance IPE, developed and implemented a pilot writers’ workshop…

Background and significance: Many patients assessed by the Memory and Aging Center at UCSF Health are well insured with caregiver support and not from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds. They do not represent the San Francisco Bay Area’s regional diversity seeking specialty referrals. With longevity and the chronic conditions of aging, the United States will have an estimated 14 million adults with some type of dementia by 2060, with women and minorities most impacted (The…

United States census data projects that one-fourth of the population will be 65 years or older by the year 2060. This trend is going to require healthcare professionals to be well versed in managing common issues or concerns in this population. To help prepare learners for this experience, the Purdue College of Pharmacy collaborated with Purdue University Nursing and Nutrition Science programs to participate in a Geriatric Medication Game (GMG). In this activity, students assume the role of…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the online IPE course experience on students’ perceptions and attitudes towards interprofessional learning. Method: A pre-test post-test design was used to evaluate students from 14 different…

The Knights Landing One Health Center (KLOHC) is a student-run clinic that provides “One Health” services (e.g., primary care services, dental services, veterinary services, and health education programs) to the rural and migrant residents in Knights Landing, California. As a continuum of community engagement, a narrative medicine approach was implemented into intake protocol and clinical interviewing. This narrative medicine approach primarily affects three individuals: the patient, the…

Harper College has over 12 different health career degree and certificate programs, yet students spend most of their time surrounded by other students in their same program. Students previously graduated without the opportunity to learn much about the professions they would soon be working alongside. During the pandemic, faculty and staff interested in interprofessional education created an activity allowing students to virtually interact with others in different health career programs. The…
