Description
Summary:The process of creating a longitudinal interprofessionalism curriculum was initiated through the collaborative efforts of the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, the Jefferson College of Health Sciences and the Batten Leadership Institute of Hollins University. A year-long Interprofessionalism Leadership course, that constitutes the first part of the Interprofessionalism domain that spans the four years of medical school at VTCSOM, was designed and implemented. The strategy for creating this course and subsequest alterations based on student feedback and faculty reflection are provided. The commentary provides experiential insight for other schools embarking on curricular revisions revolving around interprofessional healthcare education.
