Lost at SeaLost at SeaYou are adrift on a private yacht in the South

Pacific. As a consequence of a fire of unknown origin,

much of the yacht and it contents have been

destroyed. The yacht is now slowly sinking. Your

location is unclear because of the destruction of

critical navigational equipment and because you &

the crew were distracted trying to bring the fire

under control. Your best estimate is that you are

approximately one thousand miles south-southwestof the nearest land (Paul M. Nemiroff & William A. Pasmore)

Interpersonal Relationships

These are important! Take the time to get to know one another.

But remember: When team members can't get along it is

usually because of unresolved issues regarding goals, roles, & procedures.

Team members don't have to be friends or even like each other to work well together.

Interprofessional education

“... is an opportunity to not only change the

way that we think about educating future

health workers, but is an opportunity to step

back and reconsider the traditional means of

healthcare delivery. I think that what we’re

talking about is not just a change in

educational practices, but a change in the

culture of medicine and health-care.” Student Leader, WHO

Interprofessional education & collaborative practice

“…can positively contribute to some

of the world’s most urgent health

challenges.”

Interprofessional collaboration

is a key factor in initiatives designed to increase the

effectiveness of health services currently offered to the public

andtried to make it work – so that every one wassatisfied with the final outcome.I have learned a ton about myself and myselfas a member of a group, as well as thedynamics of group work.I have noticed after being a part of otherinterdisciplinary teams that every group isunique in their own way and I am interested tosee how this group will form”.

"I have been dancing with iDance for two years now and really love it. Coming to dance every week and dancing with the

many friends that I have made makes me feel free. This is the one time during the

week that I can feel free to be "me“.

"At iDANCE, I am always welcome, I don't have to hide my identity, I can just be myself

when dancing in the group. To be a dancer you must love yourself and I have learned

how through iDANCE. The trust in this group is the best trust I ever had in life."
