Clinical psychology doctoral students do not universally have primary or team-based care experiences. Likewise, student healthcare professionals may not interact with clinical psychologists in primary care, as this role is still emerging. Therefore, as a requirement, students in the Clinical PsyD program at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine shadow physicians and their accompanying medical students for four hours in clinic. Students may attend brief chart rounds, patient…

Caregivers often report difficulty understanding treatment goals, struggling with daily routines, and receiving minimal hands-on support. To address this gap, this interprofessional quality improvement initiative involving…

The Fight Isn't Over Until It's Over: Addressing Racism Through an Interprofessional Healthcare Lens
Background:Racism in healthcare is a persistent problem that can manifest as overt discrimination or subtly as implicit biases. Historically, systemic racism in healthcare has caused trauma among certain racialized groups and structural barriers to health access further perpetuate racial inequities and disparities. Consequently, people of color experience increased morbidity and mortality. Because racism in healthcare is rarely addressed in traditional curricula, five students from the…

Background:Giving and receiving feedback is a critical component for enhancing team performance, allowing learners the opportunity for self-reflection and to identify areas for improvement. However, published data suggest that students may struggle with providing constructive feedback to peers on team performance. To prepare students with the skills necessary to provide feedback to peers, they may need to first practice honest self-reflection of their own team behaviors. The purpose of…
