Although patient-centered care is a cornerstone of quality
designated by the Institute of Medicine, the quality chasm in the United States
health care system remains a reality and health disparities continue to widen.
With health care reform and redesign, new models of health care delivery need
careful integration with innovative models of health professions education.
Interprofessional education (IPE) is gaining increasing attention as a
critically important approach to optimize the preparation of the future
healthcare workforce, to bridge the gap between health professions education
and practice delivery, and most importantly, as a vehicle to optimize
patient-centered care and reduce health disparities. IPE is now an
accreditation standard for some health professional schools in the United
States. Traditional health professions education takes place in silos, with
limited opportunities for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health
professionals to learn and practice in interprofessional teams during their
formative years. The goal of the session is to engage participants in a critical
thinking process to analyze the untapped potential for addressing health
disparities via interprofessional collaborative education and research, through
the common pathway of social determinants of health. The presenter will share
her work that specifically aims to meet the nationally recognized need to train
health professions students in interprofessional teams in community-based
settings to reduce health disparities.
