任务

To transform 教育 in health care and other fields by preparing future and practicing professionals with the knowledge, 值, and skills needed to participate as members and 领导人 of dynamic collaborative clinical and community teams.

Collaborative learning environments are where 教育 and collaborative 实践 come together to improve the overall health and well-being of people and society with the goal of delivering the greatest value to individuals, 家庭, 人口, 系统, 和社区.

Building and enhancing students’ skills for the contemporary workplace are foundational goals of the Center to Advance Interprofessional Education and Practice. 与教师和社区利益相关者密切合作, we endeavor to stay abreast of the myriad of changes in health care (physical, 口服, 和行为), 公共和人口健康(预防), 教育, 宣传, 和系统), 跨学科研究, and fields where collaborative initiatives aim to serve the greater good.

The Center to Advance Interprofessional Education and Practice builds collaborative learning environments (CLE) inclusive of the following:

  1. Interprofessional 健康 科学s Education and Collaborative 健康 Care Practice
    1. Competencies: We value the core 能力 that guide cross-professional teamwork and that enable members of health disciplines to be effective practitioners. 这些能力包括:

    2. 安全与质量:我们重视人际关系的实践, interprofessional, 组织, and systemic behaviors that result in reduced risks to and improved outcomes for health care consumers.

      1. Patient/Person Centeredness: We value the cultivation and support of attitudes and skills that:
        • Empower health and social care recipients and stakeholders

卫生教育的趋势与卫生保健的趋势平行. 学习成果, 能力, and accreditation standards across health 教育 mandate that curricula include “knowledge and skills in teamwork, 沟通, 卫生信息系统, 质量和过程改进, 健康的社会决定因素, 和人口健康”(认真) & 布兰德,2014). 学生 graduating from programs that emphasize such foundational knowledge and skills go to the front of the employability line (Dow, 蓝色的, 科恩康拉德, 等, 2012).

方法

The Center’s response to workplace and 教育 trends is to create a continuum of interconnected, 交互式学习流. 借鉴学术最佳实践, we believe that effective 沟通 and team-based skills are best taught sequentially, 通过搭建学习活动, 包括了解所需的能力, 课堂教学, demonstration in pre-clinical/professional simulation-based settings, and application of and reflection upon knowledge and proficiency in a range of 实践/workforce settings. We further subscribe to learning that is relational; knowledge, 值, and skills are best developed in the context of interpersonal relationships. 随着内容的传播, relational learning methods attend to how information is shared, within the context of psychological safety and mutual respect.
