HSC 540 - Interprofessional Education Experience (IPE) II
1 Hour(s)
N/A
This course is the second of a 2-course series to explore interprofessional teams. Interprofessional education (IPE) is an approach to teaching and learning that brings together students from two or more professions to learn about, from, and with each other in the service of enabling collaboration. The goal is to improve health outcomes through the education of a collaborative practice-ready workforce that is prepared to respond to local health needs (WHO, 2010). Therefore, the aim of this interactive experience is to provide an opportunity for healthcare pre-licensure trainees to learn core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice to assist with their abilities to both integrate and work within healthcare teams (IPEC, 2011).
