IPHE 4900

This course is comprised of interprofessional activities intended to prepare students to work in collaborative and patient/client/community/family-centered work environments. Students in Faculty of Health undergraduate programs are required to maintain registration in this course for the duration of their studies. To earn a passing grade a student must complete a minimum of four activities or more as required by their program. IPE experiences must be relevant to their program of study and must include a range of exposure and immersion level experiences, with at least one of these experiences in a practice setting, which can include a simulated practice setting. In the event there are no students from other professions in any of the student's practice settings, credit may be granted for interactions with non-student professionals which follow an approved structured format. Across the required IPE experiences students must interact with at least 4 different related professions with which there are natural affinities or linkages in the professional environment. In accordance with the guidelines/requirements of the home program, students will prepare a portfolio (or comparable document/process) which maps their interprofessional collaborative learning experiences on to the specific requirements of the program. The portfolio is graded by the program on a Pass/Fail basis. Successful completion of this course is a requirement for graduation in all programs and will be recognized further with the awarding of a non-credit Certificate in Interprofessional Collaboration issued by the Faculty of Health.
