This course bulids on learning outcomes of NR.110.442, Collaborating for Interprofessional Care: Nursing, Medical, and Pharmacy Students Learning to Work Together and Care for Older Adults I, and is designed to teach students the interprofessional collaborative competencies not learned in Course #1, along with strategies for applying those competencies in health care professions (nursing, medical and pharmacy) in order to work together in providing patient care. Seminar topics include discussion of the importance of team building, communication and conflict resolution within and across the disciplines of nursing, medical, and pharmacy education. Students will practice these skills by working in small groups and when planning and making interprofessional home visits to community living older adults who serve as "health care provider consultants", as well as when participating in service learning projects. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of interprofessional collaboration for providing safe, high quality patient care. Integrated collaborative learning of nursing, medical and pharmacy students will include three clinical simulation experiences across a variety of settings and clinical issues designed to emphasize the unique contributions of each discipline and the added strength of interprofessional collaboration. The Worth and Jane Daniels Initiative supports this course which is designed for pre-licensure learners, as well as a course at the advanced practice level for nurse practitioner students, resident physicians, pharmacy students, and pastoral care residents to learn the skills of interprofessional collaboration while caring for complex community-based older patients.
