Name: Training our Students for Effective Multi-Professional Care: Goals and Challenges
Time & Date: Thursday, October 28, 2010 Noon – 2:00PM
Location: Liu Institute for Global Issues, Multipurpose Room
6476 – NW Marine Drive (UBC Point Grey Campus)
Description:
At the same time that health care delivery is becoming increasingly specialized, many provider roles and scopes of practice are being redefined and renegotiated. These new complexities of health care delivery reinforce the importance of effective communication, coordination and collaboration between the professionals who make up a given patient’s health care “team”. Thus, teaching our students the skills of effective participation in multi professional care will be critical for all the professions. However as we develop the techniques for engaging in this educational process (techniques such as inter professional education), it will be important to ensure that we are training our students for the real world challenges they will face in practice on graduation, rather than for the idealized environment we hope someday to achieve. This talk will explore and elaborate several of these real world challenges by drawing on research data and relevant theories. It is hoped that these ideas will help to inform discussions regarding the goals and strategies for inter professional education.
