PERSPECTIVES 25th Anniversary - Fall-Winter 2018

Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences 51 present the case to the waiting student providers. After the brief case presenta- tion, the student groups separate and go to their assigned simulation room to treat the “patient.” Afterward, each student group participates in a group debriefing to reflect on the sim- ulation process and is asked to discuss the following: What the group did well, what the group could have done better, and what each student took away from the process. Finally, to evaluate the activity, students are asked to complete a Clinical Year IPE Student Survey. The value of IPE is to prepare students to work collaboratively and to have the skill set for interprofessional practice. Our program has found IPE very valuable, as it provides necessary input from students and allows faculty members to observe firsthand how students apply the knowledge gained in the classroom and how students handle the interprofes- sional collaborative aspect of patient care.
