As learners advance beyond foundational competencies toward culturally responsive and community-driven care, integrating practitioner perspectives becomes essential, particularly when in-person experiences are logistically challenging. This lightening talk shares findings from a social determinants of health (…

As the global population ages, the number of people living with dementia (PLwD) is rising rapidly, placing increasing demands on healthcare systems. Yet, traditional health sciences curricula often lack sufficient focus on brain health, caregiver support, and interprofessional collaboration. The Healthy Aging Initiative (HAI) was developed to address these gaps and prepare interprofessional students to meet the complex needs of older adults through collaborative, person-centered care. …

More individuals complain about headaches than any other condition. Headaches are disorders without a biological marker; the diagnosis is based on history and symptoms. Migraine is the third most prevalent disorder affecting 15% of Americans. As the most stigmatized neurological disease, society and media view it as just a bad headache, instead of a debilitating and disabling disease. Therefore, migraine is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Similarly, cluster headache, aka suicide…

This presentation will provide attendees with an overview of a novel utilization of a multi-agent generative AI platform intended to support the self-directed learning of health sector program students regarding the roles and responsibilities of other professions as a part of their interprofessional training. Students engaged with multiple agents on this platform, each agent representing a separate health profession, which were trained using data from both the professional literature and a…

This lightning talk will explore the possible utilization of Generative AI (GenAI) as functional tool that could facilitate high functioning Rapid Team Formation (RTF) in IPE teams in clinical settings. Within healthcare settings delivery of care is more often than not coordinated through teams of practitioners from different disciplines. Moreover, not all clinical teams have the advantage of previous working relationships. However, a lack of training in team formation, and functionality…

This Lightning Talk will introduce an innovative, data-driven visualization tool developed to assess interprofessional communication in the University of Michigan Longitudinal Interprofessional Family-based Experience (LIFE) course. By analyzing Zoom interview transcripts, the tool generates interactive Gantt plots that map second-by-second speaker activity. Code was created and tested using recorded zoom interviews of student-patient interactions during an early experiential course where…

Description: The seminar discusses development of robust interprofessional education (IPE) plan evaluation. Presenters will share best practices and program-level examples from Schools/Colleges of Pharmacy that illustrate IPE plan evaluations using a continuous quality improvement (cQI) approach. Examples of best practices discussed will include intentional IPE plan design through use of a blueprint to ensure plan fidelity, leveraging diverse data sources in multiple stakeholder groups to…

Migrant women in Canada —particularly those arriving alone or with dependents— face challenges such as socio-economic hardship, limited social support, and discrimination in the labour market; these co-occurring vulnerabilities can lead some women to engage in sex work for survival. Our research team aimed to examine the health and well-being of migrant women who engage in sex work, highlighting the compounded effects of these intersecting identities and producing implications for an…
