Detailed Description and Purpose of the IPE Experience

Stop the Bleed training holds immense importance for interprofessional teams of learners as it equips them with life-saving skills in emergency situations. In diverse healthcare settings, professionals from various disciplines, including nursing, medicine, and allied health, often collaborate to provide comprehensive care. A formal Stop the Bleed training program ensures that members of these interprofessional teams are well-prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to severe bleeding incidents. The training covers crucial techniques such as wound packing, tourniquet application, and pressure application, fostering a shared knowledge base among team members. This not only enhances the overall resilience of the healthcare system but also promotes a culture of preparedness and teamwork. In emergencies, the ability of an interprofessional team to act cohesively and decisively can make a significant difference in preventing further harm and saving lives.

During Stop the Bleed training, interprofessional teams will complete the training together including skills training. Following the training, teams will complete a facilitated debrief which includes reflections on teamwork, communication, and roles/responsibilities.
