Piloting team simulations to assess interprofessional skills

Interprofessional collaboration allows practitioners to leverage their expertise to respond to multiple patient needs, keep up with new technology, respond to the demands of payers & clinicians outside of medicine, & deliver coordinated care across settings (Bluml et al., 1999; Hall & We...

Description
Summary:Interprofessional collaboration allows practitioners to leverage their expertise to respond to multiple patient needs, keep up with new technology, respond to the demands of payers & clinicians outside of medicine, & deliver coordinated care across settings (Bluml et al., 1999; Hall & Weaver, 2001; Institute of Medicine, 2001). Training in the health professions does not adequately prepare learners for team-based practice; few opportunities exist for trainees to learn together (Institute of Medicine, 2003). We received an institutional award to develop & pilot simulated team scenarios that could be used to assess the current core interprofessional skills of students in our health professions schools. Our intent was to design an educational activity that could identify program strengths & weaknesses & inform curricular improvements in the area of interprofessional collaboration.
