| Project Summary | Since COVID, virtual care (VC) became integral to healthcare service delivery, facilitating interprofessional collaboration for team-based patient-centred care. Universities must support students to learn the most up-to-date VC skills; instructors can benefit from educational interventions that incorporate perspectives from health professions, patients, and organizations offering interprofessional VC services. UBC Health’s Integrated Curriculum spans 14 health professional programs covering topics fostering interprofessional learning for team-based care. Existing IC health informatics modules were created pre-COVID without practicum opportunities. Given 40% of student learning occurs in clinical placements, integrating this is crucial. This project engages faculty, students, and patients to co-design VC educational interventions at UBC/UBCO to align with interprofessional clinical teaching environments and ensure the integration of VC and collaborative competencies. This project will result in a range of educational resources including an online module incorporating gamification and practicums to prepare health professional students for interprofessional VC collaboration matching health system needs. |
