This is the first of four courses in the curriculum dedicated to the application of intra- and interprofessional practice and education (IPE) initiatives in the preparation of healthcare professionals. This course will explore intra- and interprofessional collaboration skills within the context of theoretical constructs and underpinnings of IPE. Students will explore the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competency domains of values/ethics, professional roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teams/teamwork as they relate to different healthcare professions, patient populations, and practice settings seen in clinical medicine and primary care. Seminar style discussion of patient case study examples will be used to illustrate and reinforce the importance of interprofessional collaborative practice. Knowledge gained in this course will significantly contribute to improved understanding of an interdiscplinary, team-based approach to patient care seen in contemporary healthcare.
