In celebration of National Interprofessional Healthcare
Month, the Indiana University Interprofessional Practice and Education Center (IU
IPE) is announcing the release of the “Voices of IPE” campaign.
Global leaders in interprofessional practice and education (IPE) join IU
faculty and students in lending their voices to a series of interviews about
why interprofessional education is so important. This series answers questions
about the goals of interprofessional education, how it deepens students'
understanding of their chosen professions, and the benefits students see from these
collaborative experiences. These videos are not deep dive documentaries into
IPE; they are short informational pieces told by those who create and participate
in interprofessional activities.
Participants include Dr. John Gilbert, founding chair of the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative, Dr. Shelley Cohen Konrad, director of the
University of New England's Center for Excellence in Collaborative Education, Dr.
Jim Ballard of the University of Kentucky's Center for Interprofessional and Community Health Education, Johanna Dahlberg of Interprofessional.Global and many
others.
The “Voices of IPE” celebrates interprofessional education
and its role in student development. IPE provides a base that enriches students’
understanding of collaborative care as they begin their social and health care
careers. It adds shape to students’ view of their own knowledge and expertise.
It demonstrates how different professions work in unison with clients/patients
to achieve better overall health outcomes.
These interviews have been made available via IU IPEs’
social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The playlist
above contains each segment from the "Voices of IPE."
