IPE 700 - Inter Professional Education online

1 Credit Hours
A safe, effective and value-driven healthcare system requires teams of professionals working in unison to benefit patients and improve outcomes. The School of Health Professions has developed an online course for the pathologists’ assistant students to evoke awareness of the importance of inter professional interactions across the following disciplines: pathologists’ assistant, medical technologist, histotechnicians. Students will be required to study didactic and case-based learning modules presented online. Students are expected to demonstrate basic knowledge of the workings of cross-discipline programs and fundamental understanding of inter professional education (IPE). Each session will be presented by PowerPoint and/or video format and peer-to-peer interaction facilitated by Blackboard forum discussions and postings. The course will use the World Health Organization definition of IPE: “When students from two or more disciplines learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.”
