Hello DH3
Here is the information you need for the January 16th, 3-5 PM interprofessional education (IPE) session embedded in your curriculum. IPE aims to enable students to learn with,
from, and about each other professionally to better health and healthcare outcomes.
Participating programs in the Jan 16th session are pharmacy, physiotherapy, physician assistant, midwifery, dentistry, and dental hygiene. We have tried to place you
in the same IPE teams as per the last three sessions (Sept 2024/Jan 2025 and Sept 2025).
The Jan 16th session takes place in the Apotex (Pharmacy) building and the Dentistry Clinic.
All teams initially meet at 3 PM in the assigned room in Apotex. All teams do go to the dental clinic, but just at different times.
There are two IPE activities planned for the 16th. IPE facilitators will be available to support the teams’ discussions and demonstration:
-
Case presentation: This activity takes place in Apotex.
-
You will hear from a survivor of stage 4 oropharyngeal cancer, a head and neck cancer. Dr. V. Mutalik, an oral pathologist will share several cases of head and neck cancer which she has been involved with along
with other healthcare providers. Importantly, when we collaborate along the continuum of care from enhancing healthy literacy, early identification and prompt intervention, and treatment/management, we as healthcare providers can make a difference.
-
Although we situated the context of this IPE session around head and neck cancer, please know that there are many health conditions which require us to collaborate. Further, whether you find your practice within
a community setting, a private clinic, a primary care facility, or hospital, etc., as healthcare professionals we are asked to collaborate to better healthcare outcomes.
-
Based on the cases, in your IPE teams, you will discuss the role/responsibilities all healthcare professionals have in 'if you see something, say something', as well as in reaching out to each other via consultation/referral,
etc., and sometimes even navigating the challenges of disagreement.
-
Extra- and intra-oral examination demonstration: This activity takes place in the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Dental Clinic.
-
Dentistry and dental hygiene students will demonstrate for the team an extra- and intraoral examination.
So often, we hear from patients that they have not had such an examination done before, despite seeing their oral health professional. This is very concerning, given that it is part of the routine examination
done by the oral health professions. You will be invited to try and do the examination.
We have 25 IPE teams participating in the session divided into two waves. While one-wave is participating in the case
presentation, the other wave will be participating in the extra- and intra-oral examination demonstration.
We have titled the Jan 16th session “See something, say something, do something--collaborate”, that when we think beyond the silos of our respective practices, we
promote better healthcare outcomes and we serve as health-promoting resources for our patients. It is an inaugural IPE session, and we appreciate your feedback which will take place during the team debrief at the end of the session.
Arrive ready to begin the session at 3PM. Sit with your team at the start and when we move to the debrief at the end of the session. Here is your team and room assignment:
