Case-Based sessions are recommended following the completion of CIPE-Sponsored activities or equivalent uniprofessional activities that meet the four IPEC competency domains for optimal learner success. These activities are delivered interprofessionally, involving at least two health profession programs, with no simulated or community-facing clients/patients present.
Paired CIPE professions will address interprofessional Values & Ethics objectives via case discussions based on content specific to their professions. This part of the CIPE curriculum is under development and based on a successful collaboration between the Pharmacy and Nursing programs for the past four years.
Goal:
Increase awareness of ethical principles in decision-making processes.
Objectives:
- Analyze similarities and differences between the Code of Ethics for nursing and pharmacy
- Identify various approaches to address ethical dilemmas
- Describe possible resolutions to ethical dilemmas
Reassessment Rounds allows Medicine, Pharmacy, and Physical Therapy learners the opportunity to practice interprofessional communication skills within the context of reflecting on medical errors. Each learner identifies one patient case in which an error was made in the diagnosis or management related to physical care, emotional care, communication issues, relational issues, documentation issues, etc. Each learner prepares a 10-minute presentation that describes the patient case, analyzes the error, and proposes alternative choices that would have been more appropriate. The analysis is supported by evidence from the literature, including at least 2 peer reviewed journal articles.
During Reassessment Rounds, learners:
- Identify the problem area that signaled reassessment.
- Classify and/or identify error, consequence, actions taken, and dilemmas associated with the patient case (what did happen).
- Provide suggestions for changes including strategies for conflict resolution and literature to support the suggestion(s) (what should happen).
- Deliver oral communication with finesse, including appropriate eye contact, tone, etc.
- Provide communication in a culturally sensitive manner and present within the allotted time.
