Abstract
Abstract Background Interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) have the potential to decrease health disparities and lower health costs for vulnerable populations. An across-site and across-system federally funded IPCP project developed, implemented, and evaluated a model of IPE, targeting future and practicing health care professionals, preparing them to meet the health needs of local refugees and bridge currently siloed healthcare delivery systems. Purpose One project goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of two online clinical learning modules for staff and students about IPCP competencies and refugee culture and health. Method Two online pre-/post-surveys were used to evaluate participants’ IPCP competencies and collaboration levels and one pre-/post-survey was used to evaluate understanding of refugee culture and health. Discussion Participants’ knowledge about refugee culture and health improved significantly. Overall IPCP competencies and collaboration levels showed positive trends. Conclusions These online clinical learning modules were effective for staff and students.
