Dear Dent 1

 

On Friday, September 19th,  3-5 pm, you have a scheduled in-person interprofessional education (IPE) activity embedded in RSTD 1550 Intro to Dentistry. The session takes place on the Bannatyne campus. During this mandatory IPE session, we will begin exploring the interprofessional collaboration (IPC) competencies of relationship-focused care/services, team functioning, and communication. You have been placed in an interprofessional collaborative (IPC) learning team representing at least six other health professionals.

 

Your team will meet two patient or family advisors from the patient engagement program with Shared Health and or the Center for Healthcare Innovation. They will share their lived experiences. As a team, you will have the opportunity to listen to their stories and engage with them through a question and answer session. Please uphold privacy and confidentiality. Most likely they will not mention oral health in their story, but the intent of the story-telling is for you and your team mates to discover themes around team communication, team function, and relationship focused care/services, including patient-centered care. Certainly do explore their experience with oral health, particularly if you know that there is a relationship between oral health and their health story. Be an oral health advocate.

 

Preparation: In advance of the learning activity, as you know from the orientation session held earlier, be sure to complete the UML online module introducing collaborative team-based care. The module is the pre-reading for the IPE session. The module takes approximately two hours to complete. There are six quizzes and six optional reflections not included in the two hours. Here is the link to the module: https://universityofmanitoba.desire2learn.com/d2l/home/642177. You will need your UM ID and password. Dr. D. Schonwetter, course coordinator of RSTD 1550 will be informed that you completed the module, as well about your attendance and participation throughout the session. Though it is pass/fail, you must achieve a pass to progress in RSTD 1550.

 

On Sept 19th, the initial activity you will do with your team mates is to briefly talk about a poem in relation to interprofessional collaboration. The poem written by Robert Fulghum is  called “All you need to know you learned in kindergarten”.  See https://eflfocus.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/all-i-ever-learned-in-kindergarten.pdf

 

Here is a table informing you of your team number, assigned room, and the facilitators' names. Please arrive a few minutes before the session so you can locate your team in the room. The session will start promptly at 3 pm. If you are unsure where the room/building is, click https://maps.umanitoba.ca/ for a map of the Bannatyne campus. Again, please note that attendance and participation feedback will be shared with your course coordinator.

Consider being your team’s note-taker for the IPE session. Your team will be provided with a hardcopy of a ‘student questions template’ distributed during the session which you will use to articulate team questions and rationale for the questions.  Note-taking simulates team meeting notes and as we know document, document, document is an important motto to uphold for quality assurance and improvement. You will give the document to the IPE facilitators at the end of the session.

 

Please email me at Laura.MacDonald@umanitoba.ca  if you have any questions or concerns.

 

On behalf of the IPE planning team, we look forward to seeing you in person on Friday, Sept 19th, 3-5 PM!
