This paper describes the innovative features of the first regional model of interprofessional education (IPE) in the US, developed by The Commonwealth Medical College, Scranton, PA, USA, as a new, independent, community-based medical school in northeastern Pennsylvania. Essential educational components include collaborative care seminars, interprofessional sessions, simulations, live web-based seminars and newly innovative virtual environment interactive exercises. All of these elements are being integrated into the curricula of 14 undergraduate and allied professional schools, and three graduate medical education programs located in the region. Activities incorporate simulation, standardized patients, student leadership, and faculty and student facilitation. As this new regional model of interprofessional education is fully implemented, its impact will be assessed using both quantitative and qualitative outcomes measurements. Appropriate ongoing modifications to the model will be made to ensure improvement and further applicability to collaborative learning.
本文介绍了美国宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿的联邦医学院开发的美国首个跨专业教育（IPE）区域模式的创新特点。该医学院是宾夕法尼亚州东北部一所新建的、独立的、以社区为基础的医学院。基本教育组成部分包括协作护理研讨会、跨专业课程、模拟、基于网络的实时研讨会以及新创新的虚拟环境互动练习。所有这些元素都被整合到该地区14所本科和相关专业学校以及三个研究生医学教育项目的课程中。活动包括模拟、标准化病人、学生领导力以及教师和学生促进。随着这种新的跨专业教育区域模式的全面实施，将使用定量和定性结果测量来评估其影响。将对该模式进行适当的持续修改，以确保改进并进一步适用于协作学习。
