Abstract Interprofessional practice (IPP) reflects an appreciation for the diversity of knowledge and perspectives found in interprofessional teams. It is not always possible to provide students with clinical experiences that expose them to all disciplines, but they can develop foundational knowledge in their education.
The Academic & Clinical Education Resources (ACER) Committee offers an engaging forum showcasing IPP. The first part features presentations of the pillars of IPP and resources. In the second part, the audience will engage in activities to learn the different IPP partners, how to create a decision tree to support optimal patient outcomes, and even the ACER version of the classic WhoDunnit game.
Learning Objectives:
Define the role of audiology within the framework of IPEC competencies
Recognize the value of other health disciplines for audiological care.
Train students to advocate for the role of audiology in interprofessional practice (IPP)
