Timeframe of the Project: Offered over a three to four week timespan during the Fall Semester of the second year.
Preparation by Faculty: A Faculty Guide posted and completion of a workshop is also recommended but not required.
Pre-Work for Students: Reading from an article and a prepared guide which includes:
a Community Context Sheet with community size and community resources available to patients. There is also uniprofessional preparation about diabetes and its effects on the ocular system.
Targeted ASCO Graduate Attributes: PE4, PE8, CC9, CC12
Targeted IPEC Core Competencies: RR1, RR2, RR3, CC4, VE4
Lessons Learned in Planning and Implementing this Project:
1. Student grouping affects the perception of relevance of the IPE activity by the optometry students. Optometry students needed better preparation to work with undergraduate students who were not as engaged in their profession. Optometry students felt more positively about the experience when paired with medical students or other health science students above the undergraduate level, and they needed reinforcement of teaming with various levels of learners.
2. Scheduling an evening timeslot for this interprofessional event was challenging because of mealtime considerations and student readiness for participation at the end of a full day. In order to establish a daytime event, planning would be easier if completed 6-12 months in advance.
