Interprofessional Collaboration Experience III

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, and CLMDG 1661 & 1662, students will begin to acquire additional tools for managing patient referrals to non-physician providers. 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 professional student(s) they worked with and teach them an OMM technique appropriate to their profession and problems they most frequently encounter, and report on the OMM techniques they taught to the professional student(s) to improve overall patient care. Students will review a compilation of videos created by student teams in the winter quarter to further their understanding of their healthcare team colleagues' roles in patient care. 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.
