Background:Throughout the pandemic, medical students have gained less clinical exposure, reporting a lack of confidence in clinical and non-technical skills. The Clinical Skills Assistant (CSA) volunteer project addresses the lack of consistent opportunity for medical students to practise the skills expected of all junior doctors. We aim to improve competence and confidence in technical and non-technical skills by providing regular opportunity to perform these skills in a busy…

The University of Minnesota health interprofessional well-being initiative, BeWELL, conducted a survey in 2020 to gauge interest in initiatives and programming and found that gardening was in the top three preferences expressed by health professional students. As no garden existed on the east bank campus, BeWELL, in conjunction with the Center for Health Interprofessional Programs (CHIP), established an interprofessional student-led garden. The garden aims to provide an outlet for health…
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) in New Orleans fosters interprofessional learning through the Center for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (CIPECP). The CIPECP established a two-year longitudinal curriculum known as “Team UpTM” where students from different health professional programs come together and learn interprofessional skills. These programs include audiology, cardiovascular sonography, clinical laboratory sciences, clinical…
Background: Students in healthcare programs who perform research alongside faculty, create the identity of a Student Health Professional Research Assistant (SHPRA). Experiences between the SHPRA and their mentor are authentic, developing interprofessional socialization and dual identity formation by demonstrating the expected knowledge, behaviors, and skills that are integrated in their respective profession. Both students and faculty gain the value of intrinsic growth and professional…
Goals of the Study/Hypothesis: The Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted education at all grade levels. Specifically, we highlight two health sciences graduate programs and aimed to deduce if coping mechanisms varied based on if their curriculum was taught primarily in-person or via a virtual platform. We hypothesize that the program that spent more time in a virtual learning environment will have maladaptive coping mechanisms compared to the other program. Materials & Methods:…
Routine lab follow-up is imperative for HIV patients. At the Comprehensive Care Clinic, our interdisciplinary team includes a pharmacy practitioner, a physician, a and counseling professional to help provide the most guideline HIV-based care while in the clinic. At the CCC, our team noticed a lack of follow-up to labs increases resource use and provider burden in determining care plans. The percentage of patients that did not have appropriate lab follow-up increased significantly…
Background:Diabetes management is particularly challenging in the context of multimorbidity and socioeconomic disadvantage. Collaborative diabetes care programs including clinical pharmacist specialists (CPSs) have been successful in improving surrogate clinical outcomes, decreasing diabetes-related complications, and reducing costs of care; however, there is minimal data available regarding the efficacy of these interdisciplinary interventions in a high risk, complex patient…
Background: A new cancer diagnosis can be as financially and socially devastating as it can be medically. While addressing the medical aspects of chemotherapy toxicity is a major focus during cancer treatments, financial toxicity (psychological distress due to the cost of treatment) remains an underappreciated hardship among the oncology patient population. Receiving treatment can pose a significant financial burden to patients suffering from cancer and their families, especially for those…
