Courses & Opportunities

Designed to explore the feasibility and impact of incorporating intentional interprofessional team pre-rounds (“IPT pre-rounds”) into inpatient acute care rotations. A pharmacy student will form a team with a med student. The team will meet with the pharmacy faculty once a week to discuss their mutual patient case. Prior to the weekly meeting, the students will assess the patient independently and determine their own professional and interprofessional roles (uniprofessional assessment/plan). During the IPT pre-rounds, the team will co-create a patient-centered treatment plan for their mutual patient through shared decision-making. The team will be encouraged to engage patients/caregivers and consult other members of the patient care team if their skills and knowledge are needed to optimize their patient care plan and enhance the outcomes. The final IPT patient care plan can be presented at the next patient care team rounds or documented as a draft patient care team progress note. We anticipate that this in

This interprofessional course is for online graduate student learners in the health professions. The course allows health professional students to gain an understanding of how each discipline contributes to the healthcare team, the importance of effective communication, and the role of team collaboration in clinical decision making. This is an online IPE course where students will learn with, about, and from students in other health disciplines. Students will engage in case-based team-based learning online.

The Introduction to IPE Module introduces students to the current healthcare landscape through the perspectives of patients and families as well as faculty. It then provides an overview of the history of interprofessional education and how it relates to the quadruple aim of healthcare: improved patient experience, improved population health, increased workforce satisfaction, and reduced cost of health care. This module exposes students to two of the IPE competencies: Roles & Responsibilities and Values & Ethics. The content is appropriate for students across the health science schools and is ideal for learners early in their programs.

LIFE is an innovative, unique educational and pilot research project connecting interprofessional student teams with patients who have a chronic illness. Students participating in this experience will be immersed in 5 Interprofessional Education (IPE) competencies as they learn about the social determinants of health that impact the patient/family’s interface with the health care system and community.

This course provides students from a wide variety of backgrounds an asynchronous, engaging, practical, and interactive way to understand the US healthcare system and gain insight about how they can improve the system. The course materials were co-developed by Matthew Davis (Professor of Pediatrics-Academic General Pediatrics and Primary Care, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine) and Michael Rubyan (University of Michigan). The course highlights the expertise of many U-M faculty regarding the US healthcare system and US health policy.

Course participants will be a mix of students from multiple occupational health professions: industrial and operations engineering, industrial hygiene, occupational epidemiology, and occupational health nursing. Content is focused on IPE Core Competencies (particularly Domain 2: Roles). Learning activities are engaged, interactional, and include peer-to-peer learning, which promotes students learning about, from, and with each other. Format is primarily face to face synchronous learning.
