The Benefits of Retreating: How to Unite Your Interprofessional Troop of Faculty Champions for the Charge
Description: Often the focus of innovation and improvement in the field of IPE targets the student and patient/community experience, overlooking the enabling or inhibiting factors of the faculty and preceptors charged with building said cultures for interprofessional education and/or interprofessional collaborative practice. We are often reminded that professional development in IPE is necessary, but time is limited and there is no bureaucracy forcing the need. It doesn't have to be done, but this session implores that leaders make the time and space for interprofessional teams at their institutions to engage in intensive team-building and ideation. Otherwise known as a retreat. Presenters will share the background for and methods of designing interprofessional faculty and/or preceptor retreats that result in tangible outcomes, where professional relationships are strengthened and students, patients, and communities reap the benefit. The session addresses the selected summit theme by sharing retreat design that can result in outcomes and outputs for promoting and sustaining faculty and preceptors as leaders and champions of interprofessional education and collaborative practice.
After attending the session, the participants will have addressed the following objectives: (1) Define and acknowledge the need for intensive IPE faculty/preceptor retreats, so that faculty uncover shared values, purpose, and goals to become advocates for all professions. (2) Describe the methods applied and the content included in faculty/preceptor retreats, so that any institution can ideate and implement similar retreats. (3) Demonstrate the successful outcomes of interprofessional retreats and the transferrable benefits to students, patients, and communities.
The immediate and actionable skills we anticipate participants will gain as result of this session are to build and execute retreats for faculty or preceptors that improve interprofessional education and interprofessional collaborative practice.
