Activity Introduction
Recognizing that high-quality patient care is delivered in the setting of inter-professional teams, inter-professional education (IPE) in the health sciences is viewed as extremely important in the United States and internationally. IUSM has adopted a competency-based objective to reflect our commitment to IPE:
Demonstrate effective teamwork through collaboration with diverse patients, their supporters, and the multi-disciplinary healthcare team (SBP1). See also ICS1.
IPE Discussion Instructions
For this IPE exercise, each medical student will speak with a colleague from another health profession who is involved in the care of a mutual patient. Students will complete this IPE exercise at least once during each clerkship and will document completion via submission of this canvas quiz. Students are required to speak with a different type of healthcare professional during each clerkship. A listing of professions is found in the document below.
To assist you with facilitating these discussions, you may download a word version of this assignment to take with you that contains question prompts to guide your discussion, as well as a list of other health care professionals: FINAL - IUSM IPE Clerkship Exercise 2025-2026 (student handout for canvas).pdf
