During patient care, students accompany their patients whenever possible to the other pro- fessions’ evaluations so they are directly learning “about, from and with each other,” (WHO 2010), observing roles, responsibilities, and teamwork in action.
During the afternoon case conference presentations, students practice and engage in interprofessional communication. Respect for all patients and professions is modeled and promoted by faculty during the case discussions, with the aim that the students will realize not only the value of their individual contributions, but the enhanced value of the collective contributions of the interprofessional team to their patients’ successful care management outcomes.
Targeted Participants: Professional students and faculty from all disciplines at Pacific University College of Optometry and College of Health Professions: Optometry, Dental Hygiene, Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Audiology, Psychology, Physician Assistant, Masters in Healthcare Administration
