Abstract

BackgroundAlzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, making it urgent to prepare health providers in interprofessional teams to care for those affected. MethodsAn unfolding geriatric simulation-enhanced interprofessional education program was designed using an ACE.S case and breakout activities for an interprofessional group of nursing, social work, speech therapy and nutrition students. ResultsPre post education measures revealed a decrease in perceived challenges for interprofessional collaboration, with no change in readiness for interprofessional learning. Satisfaction with the education design was rated positively, and individual education components were rated as valuable. ConclusionsThis study offers educators an effective example of an unfolding active interprofessional geriatric education related to Alzheimer's care.
