Abstract
•Describe three strategies for overcoming common challenges when developing interprofessional educational opportunities in palliative care.•Develop an evaluation plan for IPE.•List educational strategies and resources available for IPE. The recent IOM reports, Dying in America and Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes, challenge educational institutions to prepare clinicians who are competent in communication and collaboration across disciplines, particularly in palliative care. Such training mandates interprofessional education (IPE) experiences, yet many efforts are thwarted by the multiple obstacles and lack of resources for developing and implementing IPE. It is unusual for university-based palliative care IPE curriculum to be developed from the ground up by multiple disciplines with equal representation. In this session, faculty from three universities with successful IPE programs will share lessons learned as they (1) successfully developed and integrated interprofessional curriculum and activities into their programs; (2) built curriculum with equal interdisciplinary representation; (3) aligned the curriculum with the core competencies established by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (values & ethics, roles & responsibilities, communication, and teamwork and team-based care) and (4) leveled and involved learners from different disciplines and academic levels. This session will address both opportunities and challenges that were encountered, including: assessing institutional readiness, early planning for IPE, creating and maintaining an interprofessional faculty team, educational strategies and resources for curricular development, logistical solutions, recruitment of appropriate learners from palliative care disciplines, and evaluation methods and tools. Attendees will be linked to online resources and organizations which provide materials and support IPE initiatives. Presenters will share examples of successful efforts through lecture, video and experiential activities.
