Anchor #1: Introduction of Interprofessional Collaboration with an Interrupted Case, Indiana University
Type of Project: Didactic Education
Description of the Project: This is the first unit in a series of four events called Anchors. There are three components to this unit: uniprofessional preparation, the interprofessional (IPE) event, and a uniprofessional debriefing. At the interprofessional event, students work
in groups of six and have an introductory section in which they participate in an icebreaker. Students then formulate elevator speeches about their professions plus another one about how they would interact with another profession that is present. They randomly select the other profession out of a stack of professions represented. The second part of the IPE event dives into a case regarding a man with diabetes who is admitted into the hospital after neglecting his health and then fast-forwarding to the discharge planning. The case is pre- sented with two videos and related questions for the student groups to discuss after each segment is played. The small groups share their discussions with the larger group after a given time limit. There are cards for clarification and jargon at each table for participants to hold up if they need that type of help during the session. During the small group discussion, facilitators provide clarification and assist with challenges that the groups request help with, but the facilitators are not integrated into the small group discussions. The large group discussions are managed by the facilitators. At the close of the IPE event, there is a facilitator led wrap up with time allowed for feedback and evaluations. A debriefing discussion, including a one page reflection assignment, are part of the final uniprofessional wrap up.
Why the Project was Selected: It is a solidly structured IPE unit to introduce interprofes- sional collaboration in healthcare.
