It is becoming a more familiar scene in health care. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and social workers are working as a team to care for patients in a free clinic. But this team is comprised of students from UCF \u2013 and it\u2019s just one of many innovative interprofessional learning opportunities being offered to prepare students for the future of health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe earlier interprofessional education is introduced in nursing education, the better off the students will do in all settings \u2013 from the classroom to the hospital and the community,\u201d said Heather Peralta, an adjunct instructor at the College of Nursing who established the student-led interprofessional clinic for farmworkers in the Apopka community.<\/p>\n

Preparing a \u201ccollaborative practice-ready\u201d health care workforce is necessary, according to the World Health Organization. WHO, along with the landmark Institute of Medicine \u201cFuture of Nursing\u201d report, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the National League for Nursing, have acknowledged interprofessional collaboration \u2013 from education to delivery \u2013 is key to health care\u2019s future. It provides safer, quality care that is more efficient and cost effective, improving patient outcomes and ultimately the health of the community.<\/p>\n

Multiple collaborative learning programs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Through interprofessional education, students learn interdisciplinary communication skills, an understanding of the roles and scopes of practice of each discipline, and develop mutual trust and respect.<\/p>\n

Opportunities for interprofessional education are available for undergraduate and graduate students, and include hands-on clinical experiences, collaborative patient care and clinical scenarios followed by interactive discussion, and simulated learning.<\/p>\n

For example, graduate students in the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program collaborate with students from the Athletic Training program annually in a one-day event<\/a> to learn to assess, diagnose and manage sports-related acute conditions such as concussions and spinal injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents have learned a tremendous amount from the experience,\u201d said Christopher W. Blackwell, associate professor and director of the adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner program. \u201cIt is essential because all nurses, whether practicing at the bedside or in an advanced practice role, have to work with professionals in other disciplines to provide patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nursing instructor Nancy Duckworth organizes three interprofessional education events annually where undergraduate nursing students from the Orlando and Cocoa campuses collaborate with students from the College of Medicine, the School of Social Work, the Physical Therapy program and the University of Florida College of Pharmacy in Orlando. In a recent training, students worked together leveraging their unique skill sets and knowledge to create a comprehensive wellness care plan for geriatric patients. \u201cWorking as a team allows everyone a chance to feel valued and participate as an active member of patient care to ultimately improve outcomes,\u201d said Duckworth.<\/p>\n

Through these learning experiences, students also gain confidence in their skills and abilities. Nursing student Barbara King of Merritt Island, Florida, participated in three interprofessional education events, including one at the College of Medicine focused on global health care. The event included three simulated workshops \u2013 improvised medicine, mass triage and prisoner\u2019s health care. \u201cThis is a great way for other professions to see what nurses are experts in and vice versa,\u201d said King, who graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing earlier this month. \u201cFor example, I was able to teach my group the proper way to measure someone for an NG tube and check placement afterward, while I was able to learn from others the proper way to apply assistive devices such as tourniquets and splints.\u201d<\/p>\n

When multiple disciplines come together to care for patients, the community also benefits. In the future, communities will reap the rewards of these \u201ccollaborative practice-ready\u201d professionals \u2013 like the one in Central Florida is already. Since July 2016, more than 80 students have provided free health care to more than 450 patients in an underserved community of Apopka. The interprofessional education program has received national recognition from the U.S. Public Health Service and Interprofessional Education Collaborative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Forging a bright future together<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

These efforts are just the beginning. As one of the nation\u2019s largest universities, UCF is leveraging its strengths in health care to create an Academic Health Sciences Center at Lake Nona Medical City in Orlando<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This unique interdisciplinary center will bring together the College of Medicine, College of Nursing, and a new College of Health Professions and Sciences on the 50-acre, state-of-the-art UCF Health Sciences campus at the global destination for medical innovation in Lake Nona.<\/p>\n

Through the Academic Health Sciences Center, UCF will continue to be at the forefront of health care education. \u201cThe eventual move to Lake Nona will provide our students even greater opportunity to work more closely as a team with other health care disciplines,\u201d said Duckworth.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a part of the new Academic Health Sciences Campus is so important as we will be able to do more interprofessional education, working together for the betterment of all communities in Florida and beyond,\u201d adds Peralta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is becoming a more familiar scene in health care.
