This lightning talk describes the creation of an interprofessional faculty fellowship through the collaboration of a College of Health Sciences and a Center for Interprofessional Collaboration at a state university. We cover the rationale, logistics (finances & faculty time allotment/distribution), proposed structure and intended measurable outcomes for success of the program. Recent publications have called for the systematic approach to advancing IPE research, suggesting findings…

Hyflex learning experiences have become a popular modality to address the learning needs of students as it provides students with the option of attending experiences through face-to-face/in-person, online synchronous, and online asynchronous modalities (Bockorney et al., 2024; Heilporn & Lakhal, 2021). This modality creates greater possibilities for bringing students together from different disciplines, as common barriers to interprofessional learning include modality differences and…

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…
