Summary

The LINC Simulation IPE experience will serve to build upon the LINC Common IPE Experience IPE competencies and further develop a foundation for transition to LINC Clinical IPE.

Learning objectives:

(1) Apply interprofessional subcompetencies of interprofessional communication and teamwork in a university simulation
(2) Practice communicating with a standardized patient caregiver in a difficult situation, crucial conversation, or conflict
(3) Develop and validate an observational assessment tool measuring knowledge and skill acquisition in an IPE simulation activity
