Interprofessional Education: Why now? In 2001, IOM’s Committee on Quality of

Health Care in America concluded that: “Health care professionals working in

interprofessional teams can best communicate and address complex and challenging needs.” 1

Interprofessional Educaton: Why now? The Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minn.)

reports nearly 1 in 2 (45.8%) of the nation's doctors already suffer a symptom of burnout. 

Team-oriented approaches could help ease the pressure: It used to be all about the clinician caring for

the patient. Now it needs to be the clinician, nurse, care coordinator and others. When you start expanding the numbers of types of people who are caring for a patient, that helps a doctor and patient a lot.

What is IPTC? An Interprofessional Teaching Clinic

(IPTC) housed in the Family Medicine clinic Students from different professions

participate in shared learning at the point of care.

Here’s a link to a video made and produced by nursing students who participated in IPTC last spring.

IPTC: What are the logistics? Patients are scheduled to see their

primary care provider during IPTC. Two attending physicians see patients

each half day of IPTC. 6-8 patients are scheduled per half day

per attending physician.

IPTC: What are the logistics? Currently, IPTC runs 6 half days a week.

Pharmacy and Medicine are together everyday.

Nursing, pharmacy and medicine see patients together 3 of the 6 half-days.

When possible, PT participates 1 half-day.

IPTC: What is the visit approach? Visits

Acute Chronic

Diabetes, HTN, Chronic pain Preventive

Physical exam Screening tests

IPTC: What is the visit approach? Teams

Students join forces BEFORE the visit. Review the chart TOGETHER.

This allows you a chance to get to know each other AND the patient.

Talk about what you want to know/do in the room.

Talk about how to approach the patient encounter as a team.

IPTC: What is the visit approach? Teams

Students see the patients AS a TEAM. Students report back to the attending

AFTER the visit AS a TEAM. Often the medical student presents the

patient, but ALL students have a voice. The medical student is responsible for

documenting the patient visit, but the TEAM develops the assessment and plan.

IPTC: What is the visit approach? Roles

We encourage you to define your roles by what the patient needs today.

Start with your professional training and scope of practice.

Next, allow yourself to participate in new ways.

Last, always come back to what YOU can do for the patient today.

* We need to revise this to include PT and Law.

IPTC: Looking back as looking forward

Reflect on your performance individually and as a team.

Incorporate your reflections into your next patient encounter.

Debrief! Share your anxieties, frustrations, and questions with your team and your faculty.

Always, come back full circle to the patient’s needs and let that guide you.

What is Studio Pop? Every Tuesday afternoon Protected time for:
