Guidelines
The activity must be consistent with the IPE definition: Interprofessional education occurs when multiple professions learn about, from and with each other to develop cohesive practices that improve health care and social well-being.
Examples of collaborative IPP: patient are rounds, outpatient services, quality improvement projects, simulation activities, medical records review, OR team training, community-based project, innovative collaborative practice models, health and wellness awareness events
The IPP activity will be developed by faculty from two or more professions: medicine, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, social work, clinical psychology, medical lab science, engineering.
- The activity will involve students from two or more LAU health and social care majors: nursing, medicine, pharmacy, social work, and dietetics/nutrition.
- The activity will occur in any of the patient care practice setting (inpatient, outpatient or community) and engages students from an interprofessional care perspective. Practice settings outside of LAU (e.g. other hospitals where students regularly rotate, community sites) may be considered.
- The activity will entail a minimum of two encounters with the students (e.g. event preparation, execution and debrief).
- The plan for the IPP should include the following:
- Lead faculty member (a full-time LAU faculty member) of any discipline
- Names and professions of other faculty involved
- Two to four measurable student learning outcomes
- A brief (short text) description of the activity
- Majors and level of students that will be invited to participate
- Time frame
- Number of students that can be accommodated in the activity
- Setting where this IPE experience will be offered.
- Method of assessing student learning/attainment of learning outcomes. Direct assessment is encouraged i.e not only student perceptions but direct evaluation of what they learned.
