Interprofessional education (IPE) is receiving growing significance both nationally and internationally. Despite this, organizational and curricular changes are posing challenges. The level of need for IPE and how changes can be made to curricula and infrastructure were investigated at the University of Erlangen in Germany.
The student working group for interprofessional teaching (AGIL) has turned its attention to these issues. This group is composed of students from medicine, dentistry, molecular medicine, medical technology and speech therapy. In June, 2015, a needs analysis was carried out among the students in the study programs represented in the working group to assess the actual and target situation concerning IPE (n=1,105). In the search for answers and to better measure any needs, contact was sought with instructors.
The majority of students feel that they are insufficiently educated in terms of interprofessional skills. A large proportion of the students wish to see expansion of the IPE offerings. Students also expressed a desire for additional spaces and welcomed the idea of an interprofessional learning center. AGIL began establishing interprofessional electives in October 2015. A concept for an interprofessional learning center was developed.
Based on the survey results, a need for improvements to curricula and infrastructure can be seen; however, the results are limited to the student point of view. AGIL would like to establish more interprofessional electives. These courses would then facilitate curricular implementation. Modern ideas about study environments could be applied to IPE, in particular to promote informal forms of learning. Contact with instructors was crucial for the project work and should be expanded. Realizing and financing the learning center in Erlangen are now the future goals of AGIL. The aim is to create a foundation for this purpose.
跨专业教育(IPE)在国内和国际上都日益受到重视。尽管如此,组织和课程变革仍带来了挑战。德国埃尔朗根大学对IPE的需求程度以及如何对课程和基础设施进行变革展开了调查。
跨专业教学学生工作组(AGIL)关注了这些问题。该小组由来自医学、牙科、分子医学、医学技术和言语治疗专业的学生组成。2015年6月,对工作组所代表的各学习项目中的学生进行了需求分析,以评估IPE的实际情况和目标状况(n = 1105)。为寻求答案并更好地衡量需求,还与教师进行了联系。
大多数学生认为他们在跨专业技能方面的教育不足。很大一部分学生希望扩大IPE课程设置。学生们还表示希望有更多空间,并对跨专业学习中心的想法表示欢迎。AGIL于2015年10月开始设立跨专业选修课。并制定了跨专业学习中心的概念。
基于调查结果,可以看出课程和基础设施有改进的必要;然而,结果仅限于学生的观点。AGIL希望设立更多跨专业选修课。这些课程将有助于课程的实施。关于学习环境的现代理念可应用于IPE,特别是促进非正式学习形式。与教师的联系对项目工作至关重要,应予以扩大。在埃尔朗根实现学习中心并为其提供资金是AGIL未来的目标。目的是为此奠定基础。
