Presenting at the Nexus Summit:
This talk will summarize outcomes from an interprofessional learning activity involving 842 students from nine disciplines in 130 small teams. Students reported high satisfaction and improved interprofessional competencies, however anecdotal evidence suggests variability as a function of team membership. Challenges with assessing the impact of team membership will be discussed.
This talk will discuss a variety of outcomes from a student-led DEIAA workshop delivered to 825 first-year, pre-clinical students in a virtual IPE course. Topics included white privilege, racism in medical history, and bias response strategies. Pre- and post-workshop assessments showed significant increases in students’ self-reported knowledge and confidence.
