The purpose of this review is to describe the elements and enablers for interprofessional education (IPE) clinical placements in diabetes teams.
We describe the development of an IPE clinical placement for health professional students in a diabetes team and share the lessons learned over 6 years, from 2008 to 2013. The 6 collaborative practice competencies of the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative and the requirements for Accreditation of Interprofessional Health Professional Education opportunities guided the development of an IPE clinical placement in a diabetes team.
A formal IPE clinical placement in diabetes teams requires attention to the site and diabetes team-specific elements and enablers for IPE. That includes students and preceptors from 2 or more health professions, a formal curriculum on collaborative care, adequate IPE resources and strong institutional support for a culture of collaborative care and integration of students in diabetes teams.
Diabetes teams can provide a valuable IPE opportunity for health professional students, recognizing that there are challenges that must be addressed in organizational structure of clinical placements in diabetes teams. Studies of the effectiveness of IPE in diabetes teams on collaboration competencies in future diabetes healthcare professionals and long-term patient outcomes are needed.
本综述旨在描述糖尿病团队中跨专业教育(IPE)临床实习的要素和促成因素。
我们描述了在糖尿病团队中为卫生专业学生设立 IPE 临床实习的过程,并分享了 2008 年至 2013 年 6 年来的经验教训。加拿大跨专业卫生协作组织的 6 项协作实践能力和对认可的跨专业卫生专业教育机会的要求指导了糖尿病团队中 IPE 临床实习的发展。
在糖尿病团队中进行正式的 IPE 临床实习需要关注 IPE 的场地和糖尿病团队特定的要素和促成因素。这包括来自 2 个或更多卫生专业的学生和导师、关于协作护理的正式课程、充足的 IPE 资源以及对协作护理文化和学生在糖尿病团队中融合的强有力的机构支持。
糖尿病团队可为卫生专业学生提供宝贵的 IPE 机会,但需认识到在糖尿病团队的临床实习的组织结构中存在必须解决的挑战。需要研究 IPE 在糖尿病团队中对未来糖尿病医疗保健专业人员的协作能力和长期患者结局的有效性。
