| Project Summary | Multiprofessional and interprofessional experiential learning opportunities for students to learn from patients are offered by Patient & Community Partnership for Education (PCPE) in the Office of UBC Health. About 350 students from across all health professional programs participate each year but demand is higher than we can accommodate. Patient involvement within professional programs is also limited. Building on the expertise of PCPE and their patient/community collaborators, this project will develop and test a model to support more students to learn from patients in a variety of ways by linking them with experienced patient educators who are willing and able to share their lived experiences and expertise. Learning requests, facilitated by enhancing the functionality and resources of an existing website, could be initiated by students (individuals or groups) or faculty. Opportunities for interprofessional engagement and sharing of learning will be built into the model. |
