Introduction to Interprofessional Education (IPE) at the University of Michigan (U-M) began as a 1.5-hour asynchronous module, serving as an assignment for first-year students in various health profession programs, introducing them to two IPEC competencies. In 2023, it was revised as a 3-hour asynchronous offering to describe all IPEC competencies, intercultural humility (a U-M-specific IPE competency), define IPE and IP collaboration (IPC) in relation to the quintuple aims and social…

From Siloed to Social: Measuring the Impact of Shared Interprofessional Space on Student Connections
Recognizing that in 2020 we would have a new Health Science Education Center (HSEC), we knew this was an opportunity to study the effects of the building on the informal interactions that students have with each other. The 7-story building has state-of-the-art classrooms, a simulation center, an interprofessional lounge, and an interprofessional study area for all schools to use rather than learning and gathering in highly distributed and siloed sites.Our primary questions were…

The Jefferson Center for Interprofessional Practice & Education (JCIPE) launched its first program, Health Mentors, in 2007 with nearly 450 students from 4 health professions. Over the last 18 years, JCIPE has expanded its offerings, now delivering 16 programs and reaching over 2,300 students from 20 health professions each year. Growth has allowed for greater flexibility and options for professions to integrate IPE into their curricula and students to voluntarily participate in co-…

This lightning talk presents an innovative advancement in practice-education partnerships, termed the LEAP Champion model, which serves as a call to our IPE academic and health system players to partner in the nexus to authentically prepare a collaborative practice-ready workforce. Significant gaps exist in understanding the opportunities and challenges in implementing interprofessional education (IPE) in the clinical learning environment (CLE). Academic institutions face barriers in…

The University of Minnesota is a leader in developing interprofessional education for students in health professional programs. However, fewer opportunities exist for undergraduate pre-health students to learn about the collaborative nature of healthcare and prepare for the increasing interprofessional practice education in health programs. This talk will share how a course and observership program created by the Pre-Health Student Resource Center (PHSRC) in collaboration with academic and…

Background/ContextAs healthcare continues to evolve, payment mechanisms play a critical role in shaping care delivery models. A key transformation in this landscape is the shift from traditional fee-for-service models to value-based care—an approach designed to improve patient outcomes, optimize resource utilization, and promote long-term system sustainability. Central to this shift is the alignment of payment models with interprofessional, team-based care, which emphasizes…

Introduction:Despite the widespread endorsement of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies and broad implementation of trainee-focused events, structured opportunities for the current healthcare workforce to deepen interprofessional skills are limited. To address this gap, our academic health center developed the Learning and Education in Group Opportunities (LEGO)—a monthly interprofessional seminar series designed to reinforce and apply IPEC competencies in…

Interprofessional education (IPE) assessment is inherently complex and prickly. Challenges arise from the need to analyze data across diverse health professions, various levels of learners, numerous learning environments (e.g. classroom, simulation, clinical practice) and in contexts where competence in teams and teamwork, rather than individual performance, are the focus of evaluation. This complexity is compounded by the wide range of learning activities used to meet interprofessional…

Healthcare provider stigma is a systemic barrier to equitable care and widens healthcare disparities. 20-50% of persons living with HIV do not access the oral health services they need. Research shows healthcare professionals who hold stigmatizing attitudes towards PLWHA commonly manifest it in clinical encounters. Interprofessional collaborative, community, and patient engagement educational interventions help shape the attitudes and behaviors of the future oral healthcare professional…
