FOSTERING INSTITUTIONAL EXCELLENCE & INNOVATION IN INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION THROUGH COLLABORATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SCHOLARLY DISSEMINATION; David Henzi (UT Health San Antonio); Deborah Conway (UT Health San Antonio); Sara Gill (UT Health San Antonio); Cynthia O'Neal (UT Health San Antonio); Timothy Raabe (UT Health San Antonio); Adriana Segura (UT Health San Antonio); Joseph Zorek (UT Health San Antonio)
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio first emphasized Teamwork & Collaboration as a core value in our Strategic Vision for 2018-2022. To advance this vision, university stakeholders developed Linking Interprofessional Networks for Collaboration (LINC)—a Quality Enhancement Plan for decennial re-affirmation of institutional accreditation. LINC’s operating model utilizes a continuous quality improvement approach to achieve three key goals through the development and iterative refinement of institution-wide collaborative infrastructure: increase interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities for all students, integrate IPE activities into all curricula, and systematically measure IPE learning outcomes. A drive for scholarly dissemination facilitates deeper understanding of our work, which fuels efforts to further strengthen collaborative infrastructure and our ability to achieve desired goals. Over 60 administrative leaders, faculty, staff, and students regularly contribute to LINC’s success via strategically aligned interprofessional teams comprised of representatives from each of our five schools. To date, LINC teams have implemented university-wide processes to integrate IPE into curricula, measure outcomes, launch sustainable programming, and generate scholarship. These efforts have yielded numerous peer-reviewed presentations and publications, demonstrating value and promise.

This mission aligns with the university’s mission to develop graduates of distinction known for leadership and service in their professions and communities. The School of Health Sciences offers not only didactic IPE experiences, but also community-based interprofessional collaborative practice opportunities for professional and graduate education. This presentation highlights the knowledge translation work of several health professions within the SOHS, who work collaboratively on an interprofessional team to provide innovative IPE education and collaborative health services to address health inequities. Programs highlighted include Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Nursing, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Healthcare Management/Administration, Rehabilitation Counseling, Therapeutic Recreation and Social Work.

For more than a decade, Duquesne University has been engaging in interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) to meet the changing models of healthcare education and service delivery. Duquesne has been deeply committed to engaging administrators, faculty, students, and community partners to ensure that graduates are knowledgeable and competent in the behaviors and skills required to function as collaborative members of interprofessional teams. In connection to our mission, we have focused on serving God by serving students, through IPECP. The collective faculty and students have amassed a comprehensive portfolio related to the assessment of outcomes and dissemination of scholarship to amass 18 peer-reviewed publications, 19 presentations (2 international, 12 national, 3 state/regional, and 2 invited webinars), as well as earned 4 awards (3 for innovative teaching and 1 for highest quality of publication) and more than 15 institutional grants. Several of the scholarly outcomes noted include Duquesne University student researchers, emulating the commitment of faculty in modeling a process of inquiry on interprofessional collaboration and scholarship to further mold collaborative-ready health professionals. This presentation will showcase IPECP at Duquesne University including classroom collaborations, certification programs, community outreach, and international course development and instruction.
The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)
EXCELLENCE IN INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER; Katie Eliot (The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center); Jane Wilson, PhD (The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center); Denise Bender, PT, JD, MEd, FNAP (The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center); Margaret Robinson, MEd (The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center)
The College of Allied Health (CAH) at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center is deeply committed to interprofessional education (IPE) that promotes and undergirds the mission of the College. Students and faculty from CAH are integral partners in the development and facilitation of the university’s two-year longitudinal IPE curriculum that was strategically designed to meet the Interprofessional Education Collaborative Core Competencies and program-specific competencies. Innovative educational offerings from the university’s Office of Interdisciplinary Programs provide dynamic learning experiences in several formats that allow for CAH student participation. Entry-level learners from CAH participate in a campus-wide All Professions Day featuring interactive interprofessional opportunities for over 1000 students from 29 degree programs across campus. Students may also choose from a variety of simulations designed for competency development in critical topics such as the social determinants of health and self-advocacy. Knowledge and skills gained from these experiences prepare students to work in the student-run interprofessional Unity Clinic and the mobile outreach vehicle. These interprofessional learning experiences are evaluated using our innovative campus IPE Logic Model and a research agenda in which CAH faculty are highly involved in the development and dissemination.
