Detailed Description and Purpose of the IPE Experience

The Trauma Drama is a dynamic and innovative Interprofessional Education (IPE) activity designed to foster collaboration among various health professions. As a key component of Interprofessional practice, the Trauma Drama brings together students from the fields of research, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, health professions, and population and public health to collaboratively write a script and develop a play focused on the delivery of team-based care. This unique initiative is featured as part of the Future Healthcare Professionals' Experience (FHPE), an annual event hosted by the TTUHSC Office of Student Life. Prior to writing the play, the interprofessional team of learners engages in a briefing session where they discuss the play's purpose, the role of team-based care, and the importance of teamwork not only in portraying roles but also in the play's creation and practice. Guided by mentors, the teams then write, rehearse, and refine the drama. The culmination is a live performance for high school students. Post-performance, the team of learners participates in a facilitated debrief, exploring the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies, reflecting on team engagement, and contemplating how this experience might reshape future collaborations. To measure the impact of the Trauma Drama, learners complete a standardized tool gauging their perceptions of Interprofessional Education, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the activity's efficacy in promoting collaborative practice.
