Presenting at the Nexus Summit:

Qualitative analysis of interprofessional simulations identified student-derived themes of Conflict, Feedback, Roles, Patient Care, Team Operations, Time-Outs, and Priorities. These alternative themes provide a more applicable and practical approach to understanding metacognitive processes underlying interprofessional team learning behaviors when compared to the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core sub-competency themes. Interprofessional Team Immersion (IPTI) is a simulation activity run by the University of New England and Rosalind Franklin University. Interprofessional…
