Facilitating Interprofessional Learning Workshop - 28th April 2010 - FULLY BOOKED

The implementation of undergraduate IPL brings enormous logistical and practical problems (Morison et. al., 2003) as it usually involves large numbers of students and correspondingly large numbers of staff to facilitate their learning. However, often little attention is given to the difficulties faced by teachers when assigned interprofessional teaching. Freeth et al (2005) assert that staff require support and development to engage effectively in interprofessional teaching. This workshop offers an opportunity to explore some of the challenges to interprofessional facilitation and to consider strategies for managing these.

Aims of workshop

  • Consider how far cultural concepts explain some of the challenges to interprofessional learning and working
  • Examine and develop strategies to facilitate interprofessional learning which build on current experience, perceptions and readiness
  • Manage the learning environment in ways that support the development of collaborative skills
  • Evaluate the potential of appreciative inquiry approaches to enhance the student experience of 'learning with, from and about each other'
  • Appreciate the resonance between interprofessional teaching, learning and professional practice

 

Example activity included in workshop

Strategies for interprofessional teaching will be the subject of general participant discussion. This will be guided by input from workshop presenters around the findings from a study related to interprofessional teaching. Participants will undertake a small group activity where they are asked to develop a model of facilitation that could overcome professional cultural difficulties.
