Integration of IPE into Allied Health Higher Education Programs: Faculty Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions
Interprofessional education (IPE) fosters collaboration among allied health disciplines to improve patient care. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for cross-disciplinary skills in healthcare (Goldman & Xyrichis, 2020). Effective IPE requires structured integration in health programs to enhance teamwork and patient outcomes (Sultan et al., 2022). This study examined faculty perceptions of IPE at a public university through an IPE-specific survey (IPKAS) and faculty interviews,…

Learning Together, Communicating Better: Medical Student Perspectives on Interprofessional Health Literacy Training
The Center for Disease Control (CDC, 2024) defines personal health literacy as “the degree to which individuals have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others.” Improving health literacy is an ideal, shared value, and ethical responsibility of all team members in collaborative, patient-centered care in addition to improving patients’ trust and health equity (CDC, 2024). Thus, it is an ideal topic…

Lights, Camera, Collaboration: Using Film to Spark Interprofessional Dialogue in Academic Health Centers
Introduction:Faculty development in academic health centers often relies on structured workshops and didactic formats, which can limit engagement and cross-disciplinary dialogue. To create a more dynamic, reflective, and community-building experience, our institution launched Faculty Movie Night in 2018—a quarterly series using public health-themed films as a springboard for continuing education, networking, and interprofessional discussion.Method:Held quarterly on Monday…

A Scaffolded Framework for Interprofessional Competencies: Mapping and Tracking IPE Activities
There is a growing body of research supporting SimIPE as an effective way for students to achieve IPEC Core Competencies (Granheim et al., 2018; Labrague et al., 2018; Marion-Martins & Pinho, 2020; Welsch et al., 2018). However, limited literature exists on how to scaffold experiences to support the development of interprofessional competencies among healthcare learners. Additionally, limited literature exists on the appropriate level of "dosing" of interprofessional learning experiences…

After Prozac: How Psychiatry Became the Last Interprofessional Frontier to Conquer
Psychiatry finds itself in a curious clinical environment post-Prozac. The medical model has generated a split model of care whereby psychiatry remains one of the few solo-practitioner fields where very little collaboration occurs with other health and social care providers. There are exceptions: the VA, public health clinics, FQHCS, and hospitals. However, the majority of psychiatrists practice in a community setting, engaged in medication management in person and through telehealth - the…

Developing Behavioral Health Programming in an Interprofessional Educational Setting
Behavioral Health is an underexplored opportunity for interprofessional student clinics and experiences. This is due to a number of reasons including the private nature of behavioral health sessions and lack of access to students who are in behavioral health programs. Incorporating social work students as leaders and providers of clinical interventions is often difficult in health systems that focus on prescribing as the main form of intervention for improving health outcomes. To address…

Educators as Change Agents: Faculty Development for Leadership in IPE
This Lightning Talk expands upon a presentation at the 2024 Nexus Summit by describing an institution-level program’s final stage of scaffolded adaptation and growth. IPE faculty development (i.e., training prospective academic and clinical educators) is critical in sustaining the future of collaborative workforce preparation. IPE faculty development can create a symbiotic relationship that benefits all facets of healthcare by increasing collegiality, community, and potential…
