Interprofessional Collaboration Experience I

Catalog description

This course is designed to help osteopathic medical students promote interprofessional collaboration by gaining understanding of the practice of other members of the healthcare team. Building on the COREG courses from their matriculation year, concepts from the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (I.P.E.C.) will be reviewed. Students are assigned to either observe a provider-student team in the Midwestern Clinics or participate in a HOME interprofessional activity. All students will interview the professionals they worked with and, depending on the experience they were assigned, prepare either a vlog or descriptive reflection summarizing the information they gather. Students also will review online lectures recorded by support staff in the various clinics to further student understanding of the diverse roles of healthcare team members involved in running a health organization.
