P R EC EPTO R Interprofessional Collaboration Interprofessional education and collaboration are integral parts to the curriculum at Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy. From the first semester, students are introduced to the roles and responsibilities of various health professions and how they intersect with pharmacy services. These concepts are reinforced throughout the next four years, increasing in complexity and requiring students to practice these skills. Using recommendations from the Interprofessional Education Collaborative’s (IPEC) guide for Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: 2016 Update, students have opportunities in the classroom, skills labs, and experiential experiences to improve communication and relationships with other health professionals to provide better patient care.
IPEC FOUR CORE COMPETENCIES
As a preceptor, we encourage you to consider how your setting allows for opportunities for the student to communicate and interact with health professionals and other students. Each IPPE workbook contains activities for the student to complete, and required APPEs require the student to be evaluated on interprofessional teamwork. If you need assistance in developing or refining IPE activities for your setting, please reach out to the OEE team at any time! HELPFUL RESOURCES Melissa E. Rotz, Gladys G.
