Purpose: There is an important need for interprofessional practice (IPP) between speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and classroom teachers (CTs) in mainstream schools to support student outcomes. This mixed methods systematic review aimed to synthesize existing literature to describe the experiences of IPP between SLPs and CTs in mainstream…

Within the healthcare system, identification and intervention for intimate partner violence (IPV) are critical, yet often hindered by siloed operations among healthcare workers. Effective interprofessional collaboration is pivotal for timely and appropriate interventions. This article describes an interprofessional educational simulation involving…

An effective leader is a supportive person who values your thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Excellent leaders are available to all members of the team, willing to work hard, engaged no matter what the task, and are notably trustworthy. Leaders help focus the team through purposeful communication, vision, engagement, and inspiration to cause others…

Interprofessional collaboration enhances healthcare teamwork and patient care. Interprofessional education (IPE) situates pre-professional learners in collaborative contexts that simulate their future working environments. Healthcare educators have made IPE a goal. However, barriers exist to creating interactive experiences for students…

Purpose: Interprofessional collaboration in schools is fundamental to the success of all students. The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine the impact of an innovative one-credit-hour undergraduate course on students' knowledge of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative's (IPEC) core competencies for interprofessional practice.…

Interprofessional education (IPE) is important to prepare graduate students for collaborative practice. This mixed methods study sought to evaluate a full-semester, asynchronous online IPE course for graduate students. Thirty-one graduate social work, nursing, public health, and health administration students participated. Interprofessional…

Simulation is well-documented as an effective pedagogy in teaching social work practice. However, the financial and human resources needed to provide simulation-based teaching in large social work programs are prohibitive. Partnering with other disciplines with established simulation programs is one way to bring simulation to social work students…

This study focuses on interprofessional learning and education in collaborative care teams in primary health care. Using a case study methodology, the researcher collected data through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Through purposeful sampling, the study explores the experiences of five diverse health professionals (two nurses,…

Driven by COVID-19, remote work is popularising. Companies and employees are increasingly embracing its benefits of flexibility and convenience, showing reluctance to return to full-time office schedules. Similarly, companies and HEIs started offering remote forms of work-based learning (WBL) -- or eWBL. However, remote work presents social and…

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) between health professionals of various disciplines aims to improve patient care by optimizing patient outcomes and employee enthusiasm for their jobs. Interprofessional education (IPE) is the pedagogical approach to teaching IPC. There is an expectation that physical therapy (PT) instructors will adopt and…

It is not known how parents of preschool children birth to three years of age with severe disabilities describe their experience with the special education team and communication with team members when included in teamwork using a model consistent with interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). The purpose of this qualitative descriptive…

The graduate school experience is a relevant part of professional development and can be instrumental in framing future careers. There is, however, a lack of resources and understanding concerning how institutions can best develop a positive culture during graduate school. In this paper, six professionals outline their graduate program experiences…

Background: Current methods for interprofessional education (IPE) incorporating simulation for team training poses challenges. Frequent challenges to traditional approaches include adequate time, resources, simulation space, equipment, and trained faculty. Multi-player virtual reality (VR) may be a solution. Methods: A quantitative,…

Evidence shows that when an interprofessional (IP) approach is effectively implemented, it can counteract some of our most pressing health care problems. One such challenge is the lack of training in IP teamwork health care professionals receive during their education. Using a quasi-experimental matched comparison group design, this study assessed…

Children with intellectual disability and autism often receive support which is organised with interprofessional collaboration in early childhood education and care (ECEC). In Finland, a new ECEC curriculum was launched in 2022. The core curriculum and renewed legislation on ECEC emphasise collaboration between professionals and parents. In this…
