We're in a New Place. We're Not on the Edge of an
Old Place: Introduction to Interprofessional Education
The University of British Columbia has a long and distinguished
history in health care interprofessional education, working
to implement programs as long as forty years ago. Join a leader
in this educational movement to explore how one university
radically changed education for all health disciplines to
better reflect the health care industry in Canada. Reflect
on the increasing international interest in interprofessional
education, the importance of semantics, the criticality of
cultivating support systems, and the careful development of
program characteristics.

learning, improve patient outcomes, and engage in systems
thinking under the supervision of interprofessional faculty.

The Great Lakes Learning Team Model: Interdisciplinary Education
for Geriatric Care
Learn about a grant-funded team learning model implemented
by Case Western Reserve University in 22 clinical practice
sites in two major U.S. cities. Medical residents, graduate
nursing students, and social work students engage in joint
workshops and not only collaboratively provide care to the
elderly, but also learn from the care they give and work toward
improving that care. The initiative has taught over 200 individuals
who are committed not only to mastery of geriatric care skills,
but also mastery of interpersonal skills and improving systems
of care. Discuss practical aspects of this and other interprofessional
experiences of the speakers.

of classroom and clinical interprofessional education into
the required curricula of the school’s six health care
disciplines; spotlighting interprofessional education in the
targeted area of patient safety; and implementation of an

Closing Program Session
Implementing Interprofessional Education and Research
Hear from colleagues who are active in interprofessional education
in a fast-paced abstract format followed by open discussion.

and research such as:
- How to resource it?
- How to work across discipline-specific
schedules?
- How to promote it?
- How to get faculty to do it?
- How to move from competition to collaboration?
- How to secure course credit within
the university system?
