CRES 820 IPE Education and Simulation

Thriving in the interprofessional environment is a requirement for most, if not all, professional occupations. Participants in this course will optimize their interprofessional communication and collaboration through in-depth study of the Interprofessional Educational Collaborative (IPEC) and the literature on high impact interprofessional educational activities. Learners will have a robust understanding of the literature on interprofessional simulation and will have the opportunity to create and assess each other’s interprofessional learning activities based on current evidence.
