Date: June 20, 2025
Time: 8:30 am - 12:30 pm (Central Time)
Location: Virtual, Online Event
In this IPE simulation with SPs, teams of learners from diverse professional backgrounds take the first step in shattering the stigma of SUDs by learning and practicing the use of destigmatizing interviewing techniques. This is accomplished by keynote presentations and panel discussions covering team-based care in SUDs, harm reduction strategies, and interviewing strategies to destigmatize the interview. Teams of learners will then participate in 2-3 simulations with SPs, followed by a facilitated debrief.

2025 Resilience in Interprofessional Teamwork.png&FileTypeRecNo=2)
Date: July 18, 2025
Time: 8:30 am -12:00 pm (Central Time)
Location: Virtual, Online Event
Burnout in healthcare and healthcare education is an epidemic that has been linked to numerous devastating outcomes for learners, professionals, and patients. Many national healthcare organizations have stated that teamwork and mutual support are critical to improving resilience and well-being. Therefore, supporting and building the resiliency and well-being of teams is essential. It benefits not only the individual members of those teams but also those who are served by and engaged with the team.
Additionally, as interprofessional teams are becoming increasingly important in health delivery, the benefits of interprofessional collaboration are becoming more apparent and can lead to improved morale, decreased burnout, and increased patient safety. The purpose of this virtual IPE small group event is to discuss and reflect on the reciprocal relationship between teamwork and individual/team resiliency.

Summer IPE Escape Room Challenge
Dates: May 23, June 27, and July 25
Location: Live in-person event on the Lubbock Campus. Room information and final details will be emailed up to a week before the event.
Looking for a fun and engaging IPE experience? The IPE Escape Room is an adventurous way to meet new students across our various healthcare professions while improving teamwork and communication skills. Throughout this beginner escape room, teams will collaborate together to solve puzzles that will ultimately lead to a discharge plan in a simulated patient case. Team members are not required to have discipline-specific knowledge and teams will be provided clues as needed.
The IPE Escape Room Challenge is a perfect opportunity to learn more about TTUHSC, work with an interprofessional team of students from various professions, and learn more about the importance of interprofessional education and practice in healthcare. Following the completion of the challenge or at the end of the hour, a debrief will take place allowing teams to discuss their escape room experience and evaluate their team's performance.
Have a group of participants that you want to schedule? Email us at ipe@ttuhsc.edu for individual scheduling options.

Do No Harm: An Interprofessional Patient Safety Event.png&FileTypeRecNo=2)
Date: September 19, 2025

Location: Virtual, Online Event
Preventable medical errors continue to remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming the lives of over 400,000 patients each year. These numbers underscore the need for patient safety training and education for healthcare professionals. Interprofessional education and practice are critical to patient safety and improved patient care. Additionally, as interprofessional teams are becoming increasingly important in health care delivery, the benefits of interprofessional collaboration are becoming more apparent and can lead to increased patient safety and reduced incidence of medical errors.
The purpose of this event is to highlight the role of team-based care in order to identify and resolve potential medical errors and hazards, discuss root causes in cases of medical error, and practice disclosure of medical errors as a team with standardized patients.
