Targeted Participants: 1st year students enrolled in the College of Optometry and the College of Pharmacy (~240 total participants)
Targeted Learning Level: Exposure / Introduction and Immersion / Development Timeframe of the Project: This is a 3 hour workshop conducted during the 2nd semester of
the 1st year.
Preparation by Faculty: The workshop co-coordinators, Dr. Kathryn Richdale from Optometry and Dr. Catherine Hatfield from Pharmacy worked together for approximately 3 months to develop the workshop. Dr. Hatfield is the Director of Inter-Professional Education in the College of Pharmacy, and has over a decade of experience facilitating interprofessional education (IPE) initiatives. Dr. Richdale is new to IPE but has worked with Dr. Hatfield and the Texas IPE Consortium to undertake the TeamSTEPPS certification. The goal of TeamSTEPPS is to improve performance among teams of health care professionals.
Drs. Richdale and Hatfield, with assistance from other faculty from their respective colleges, developed the patient case example, ordered samples of OTC medications, made packets with copies of the drug labelling for students to review, created an icebreaker, developed pre- and post-test and satisfaction surveys, and coordinated the facilities and other doctors to help facilitate the workshop.
Pre-Work for Students: There is no pre-work required for students.
Targeted ASCO Graduate Attributes: PE4, PE8, KK6, CC4, CC10, CC13 Targeted IPEC Core Competencies: VE5, RR2, RR3, RR4, CC2, CC4, TT3, TT8
Lessons Learned in Planning and Implementing this Project: This project is the College of Optometry’s first joint interprofessional education program with the College of Pharmacy. Our goal this year was to introduce the classes with a topic that would be interesting and relevant to both groups. Our plans moving forward are to continue a workshop-style event each year, which builds upon the knowledge students gain in their respective curricula and supports understanding and appreciation of the knowledge and skills of each profession and how we can work together to improve patient care.
