2023 IPE Fall Symposium
Registration is now open for the 2023 IPE Fall Symposium brought to you by the Office of Interprofessional Education at TTUHSC. The purpose of the Fall Symposium is to bring healthcare professionals together to learn about, from, and with one another to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. The Fall Symposium is open to all students, faculty, staff.
For 2023, the IPE Fall Symposium will be held on November 3, 2023, in an online format, from 8:30 am – 3:00 pm.
This year's symposium is titled: Embracing Growth: Cultivating Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health and Well-Being through Interprofessional Collaboration
Emma Benoit will kick off the event with a powerful story to help others find hope, and shine more light on the fact that 20 young people die every day by suicide in the United States.
The morning session will conclude with a panel discussion offering a time for reflection and sharing on the critical needs within our communities.
The afternoon session of the IPE Fall Symposium will consist of small breakout room discussions where students will be placed into interprofessional teams of ~10-12 students. During the afternoon activity, teams will examine a series of video vignettes related to the symposium's theme, discussing ways to improve collaboration, communication, and teamwork. Throughout the vignettes, students will have an opportunity to discuss core competencies of IPE (roles and responsibilities, communication, teams and teamwork, and values/ethics for interprofessional practice) and how these competencies can be used to provide quality patient-centered care.
