Background: Advances in information and communication technology are influencing instructional formats delivery modes for post secondary teaching learning.Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine whether interprofessional team process skills traditionally taught a small group face-to-face classroom setting could be blended learning environment; without compromising the pedagogical approach collaborative Group Investigation Model (Sharan & Sharan 1992) used course.Method: A required...

Both in Canada and globally, medical schools are prioritizing diversity education. The ensuing development of innovative approaches to augmenting the representation, comfort, success students from under-represented groups has been increasing. Curricula have also expanded better prepare graduates for realities effectively meeting needs a diverse patient population. Leadership however, not kept up with this progress. Evidence shows that leadership teams develop solutions complex problems,...

Health care aides are unlicensed support personnel who provide direct care, personal assistance, and to people with health conditions. The shortage of has been attributed recruitment challenges, high turnover, an aging population, the COVID-19 pandemic, low retention rates. Mobile apps among many information communication technologies that paving way for eHealth solutions help address this workforce by enhancing workflow aides. In collaboration Clinisys EMR Inc, we developed a mobile app...

Virtual worlds provide a promising means of delivering simulations for developing interprofessional health skills. However, and implementing virtual world simulation is challenging process, in part because the novelty as platform also degree collaboration required among technical subject experts. Thus, it can be difficult to ensure that both technically satisfactory educationally appropriate.To address this challenge, we propose use de Freitas Oliver's four-dimensional framework guiding...

Abstract Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) is a field of study suggested to improve team functioning patient safety. However, even interprofessional teams are susceptible group pressures which may inhibit speaking up (positive deviance). Obedience one pressure that can positive deviance leading negative outcomes. To examine the influence obedience authority in an setting, experimental simulated clinical scenario was conducted with Respiratory Therapy (RT) (n =...

This study describes the redesign of an interprofessional team development course for health science students.A theoretical model is hypothesized as a framework process, consisting two themes: 1) increasing trend among post-secondary students to participate in social networking (e.g., Facebook, Second Life) and 2) need healthcare educators provide training that results effective communities practice better patient care.The focused on relevance through integration customdesigned technology...

Becoming a skilled professional requires the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and practice skills under guidance an expert. The idea learning-through-apprenticeship is long accepted in medicine and, more generally, health sciences, where practicum courses are essential part most curricula. Because high cost apprenticeship programs -- mentors can usually supervise few trainees may need periods - simulation has been adopted as learning-by-doing training method that supplement many...

This paper examines the readiness for and attitudes toward interprofessional (IP) education in students across four diverse educational institutions with different mandates. The (research-intensive university, baccalaureate, polytechnical institute community college) partnered to develop, deliver evaluate IP modules simulation learning environments. As one of first steps planning, Readiness Interprofessional Learning Scale was delivered 1530 from institutions. A confirmatory factor analysis...

In health care, there is a shift toward competency assessment, including in interprofessional collaboration and education. The Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS) has been designed to assess self-reported change competency.The current study collects validity evidence for the ICCAS by replicating expanding previous research, examining internal structure, item functioning, concurrent validity, response process, consequential theoretical interpretation of...

Health Science teams are increasingly interprofessional and often require use of information communication technology. These shifts result in a need for health science students to learn online teamwork skills early their training. In response, one course was remodelled from traditional Problem-based learning (PBL) include an collaborative (team-based) environment (Elluminate). This study evaluates the types interactions facilitated by e-problem-based (ePBL) activity. A qualitative analysis...

Augmented/Alternate Reality Games are a relatively new, yet increasingly interesting, class of social applications. These games fundamentally intertwined with the players' real life, in that everyday activities generate events advance game logic. At same time, they augment "regular" game-related tasks and challenges rich digital content is communicated to players through variety devices, usually augmenting their mobile-device views. In our work, we have been developing software framework,...

Longitudinal evaluation of interprofessional programming is necessary to understand the impact education (IPE) for collaborative practice. Attitude one measure intended behavior. The Interprofessional Scale (IPAS) was developed as an improved examine readiness and As a means pilot protocol longitudinal comprehensive program with 13 health professional programs in 6 science faculties, IPAS administered over 3-year period three cohorts students. results indicated no significant differences...

Healthcare has a long tradition of silence around mistakes that cause or have the potential to harm patient, and there is evidence this culture may be present from beginning health professional's training. The purpose pilot study was examine team interprofessional students' interactions with preceptor in simulation environment. debriefing explored reactions assisted them how manage similar situations future improve patient safety. results showed students felt powerless stop simulated doing...

Developing and sustaining a comprehensive interprofessional education (IPE) curriculum infused throughout health science programmes at large post-secondary institutions requires not only champions within each program but also collaboration across professional strong support an institutional level. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it reports on the development learning pathway, curricular model, pathway launch, introductory experience context institution. model provides...

Introduction Health care training traditionally focuses on medical knowledge; however, this is not the only component of successful patient management. Nontechnical skills, such as crisis resource management (CRM), have significant impact care. This study examines whether there a difference in CRM skills taught by traditional lecture comparison with low-fidelity simulation consisting noncontextual learning through team problem-solving activities. Methods Two groups multidisciplinary...

Case finding for frailty is recommended as part of routine clinical practice. We aimed to test feasibility and acceptability three case tools in primary care an integrated seniors' program.

Phenomenon: As we move toward competency-based medical education, greater emphasis is being placed on assessing a more comprehensive skill set, including the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in workplace. Nonphysician members interprofessional (IP) teams have valuable perspectives actual resident performance are often not adequately engaged provision of feedback residents. Based educational theories collaborative evaluation social constructivism, this research examined IP...
