Nexus Fair Networking Rooms
Network with a purpose!
The Nexus Fair returns to Nexus Summit 2024 in a virtual format. The Nexus Fair is an interactive, solutions-based learning environment designed to facilitate connections with those that share a deep passion and commitment to improved experiences, outcomes and costs in both health care and education.
The Nexus Fair Networking Rooms offer an opportunity for individuals or organizations to share interprofessional assets – tools, educational modules, and other practical resources that may be of interest and value to colleagues across practice and education. Networking Rooms will be hosted in Zoom breakout rooms where attendees will be able to go from station to station, just as they would during an in-person conference. Hosting a Networking Room also means that the host organization may provide up to three electronic resources to be posted to the Nexus Summit website to be shared with the attendees asynchronously.
Networking Rooms are not exhibitors or formal presentations, but instead are interactive virtual settings ideal for sharing resources and other links, brief PowerPoint slides or handouts, and other materials to share information and create key connections.
Nexus Fair Objectives:
- Provide a dynamic interactive venue for organizations, initiatives and individuals from different sectors in interprofessional education and collaborative practice to meet each other and learn together
- Share tools, resources, and information with members of the interprofessional practice and education community.
- Make new connections that will feed your interest in and commitment to developing and supporting your Nexus upon returning home
What to Expect:
- Join Nexus Fair presenters in their Networking Rooms to engage with a brief presentation, interactive conversation, and exclusive resources shared by the presenters.
- Attendees will be able to self-select which Networking Rooms to attend, and will be able to join and leave at any time.

Jefferson Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (JCIPE), Thomas Jefferson University
During this session, attendees have the opportunity to learn about two recent major initiatives of the Jefferson Center for Interprofessional Practice & Education (JCIPE), now in its 17th year. The innovations include a new Certificate of Excellence in Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, the culmination of exceptional participation in JCIPE’s curricular framework, and the Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide® (JTOG®).
The Certificate of Excellence in Interprofessional Collaborative Practice offers the opportunity for motivated students to be recognized for their contributions to interprofessional collaborative practice, above and beyond the basic proficiency designation that is earned by all health professions students through participation in baseline interprofessional programming. Students can select one of three tracks (clinical, education, or scholarship) on which to focus their efforts. Upon completion of track requirements and a final reflection, students receive the transcript designation of Excellence in Interprofessional Collaborative Practice.
The JTOG® is a real-time, 360-degree validated, competency-based assessment tool that measures how well teams and individuals collaborate in educational and practice settings. Mapped to the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies, the convenient JTOG mobile app facilitates the collection and sharing of behaviorally-based feedback for teams and individuals from the perspectives of patients, family members/support people, instructors, team observers, and individual team members (students, preceptors or peers). Join Center staff to discuss development and implementation of JCIPE’s Certificate of Excellence as well as applications of the JTOG app.

University of Minnesota: CLARION National Case Competition (CLARION)
CLARION is a student-driven, faculty and staff-supported initiative that focuses on the professional development of health science students. CLARION activities emphasize leadership, teamwork, communication, analytical reasoning, conflict-resolution, and systems-thinking.
In its 20th year, the CLARION National Interprofessional Case Competition engages interprofessional teams of students in problem-solving on a current challenge in healthcare. Cases approach these challenges from both a system and an individual patient and provider point of view.
In this session, we will share our experiences guiding this educational activity, describe example cases and student presentations, and discuss ways to get involved in CLARION and support student-driven interprofessional opportunities on your campus.
