Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice: Bridging the Gap for Educators and Practitioners
Session Description
This session will provide attendees with the foundational concepts of interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaborative practice (ICP). Members of the IPECP Task Force will provide: 1) an update on the work the they've completed in the last six months, 2) findings from their review of what other professional organizations (in healthcare) are doing to promote interprofessional education and collaborative practice, 3) recommendations for how the RT profession can be involved in this initiative, and 4) tools for implementing IPE and ICP in higher education and RT practice settings. IPECP is one way to advocate for services for our clients (to promote optimal outcomes), as well as an opportunity to advocate for recreational therapy services.
