Interprofessional Education Plans
This activity is embedded in the following IPE Plans for the current academic year:

Summary

The LINC Clinical IPE Experience serves as the capstone to the LINC Longitudinal IPE Program. The purpose of this university-wide IPE activity is three-fold: (1) facilitate interprofessional socialization; (2) empower students to evaluate interprofessional clinical learning environments; and (3) prepare students to navigate real-world interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) settings. Students complete this IPE activity at/near the end of their educational program.

Learning objectives:
(1) List the different factors that contributed to the adverse patient event in the graphic case
(2) Organize the factors into different categories using principles of systems thinking (e.g., fishbone diagram)
(3) Analyze an authentic clinical learning environment during individual clinical placements
