Fall is interprofessional conference season and the Center for Excellence in Collaborative Education is pleased to announce that student posters and faculty/professional staff presentations have been accepted by two prestigious conference venues – Thomas Jefferson University’s Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (JCIPE) and the Nexus Summit, sponsored by the National Center for Interprofessional Education and Practice (NCIPE).

Student poster: “Interprofessional Student Team Creates Harm Reduction Kits for Individuals After Incarceration” authored by Hannah Hutchins (OT),  Julia Marcus (UNECOM), Macy Punzalan (CDM), Lauren DiGiovanni (UNECOM), Angela Hebel (PH), and Annick Metoule (PH) will be presented at both Nexus and JCIPE conferences in September and November respectively.

  • A cross-institutional team from UNE and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS)  have been invited by JCIPE to present, “A Virtual Cross-Institutional Telehealth Simulation Experience”, a workshop highlighting the unexpected but highly successful transition to online interprofessional simulation. Workshop designers include Shelley Cohen Konrad (CECE), Kris Hall (CECE), Kira Rodriguez (CEPH), Sarah S. Garber (RFUMS), and Tamzin Jane Batteson (RFUMS).
  • Kelli S. Fox from the School of Social Work will offer findings from her dissertation research, “Playing well with others: Evaluating an intervention to prepare social work students for interprofessional collaborative learning”.
  • The Nexus Summit presentations represent unique collaborations. “Developing a Novel Interprofessional Education Tool for Addressing Health Misinformation and Decision-Making” is the product of an Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Project Grant awarded to UNE and Maine Medical Center and “Cross-Institutional Research: Learning About, From & With to Advance Knowledge of IPE Impact within the Workplace” is a multi-institutional research project exploring the impact of IPE campus learning on workforce clinical practice.
