Level of IPE Integration

1. Foundations: Consists of introductory learning experience that equips learners with new knowledge and skills that enable them to interact and learn from professions, disciplines, and community sectors outside their own.

2. Immersion: Participants learn about, with, and from others in an active learning situation while applying new knowledge and skills during the experience. The desired outcome for experiences offered at the immersion level is that learners will develop critical thinking skills as part of an interprofessional view that incorporates multiple perspectives, and acknowledges and encourages diversity in providing quality health and human services.

3. Entry-to-Practice: Learners integrate their Interprofessional Education and collaborative knowledge and skills in experiential settings. These experiences may include but are not limited to learners actively engaged in team decision-making while filling gaps in care or services.

Title: PUBAFRS 5620: Rapid Innovation for Public Impact
Description: Students in PUBAFRS 5620 go through a series of inter professional components. The course combines students from different disciplines and level (undergrad and graduate) onto teams to tackle a wicked problem, so multidisciplinary communication is key to success. For example, this semester has students from 10 different majors taking the course and working together. We also have students regularly connecting with their clients who have brought the challenge to the course as well as interviewing stakeholders of the challenge to better understand the problem they are trying to solve as well as test their hypotheses about the system and possible solutions. Students must get a full perspective of the different people affected by the problem and develop a solution that can help.; View Details

Title: SWK 5025: Social Determinants of Health: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
Description: Description
This course is open to students from any discipline. Social determinants of health covers topics relevant to city/regional planning, geography, law, political science, healthcare, social welfare, etc. Application of social determinants of health frameworks necessitate inter professional collaboration given the impact that non-healthcare related experiences have on health and wellbeing (e.g., the social context of which we are born, live, work, and grow). Many readings throughout the course emphasize the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration. In the class, students have the opportunity to learn from their peers who may be from a variety of disciplines. For example, this semester, students are primarily from social work, but there are also students from city/regional planning and education. Working in groups, students apply their disciplinary lens to social issues and share this with the class. A specific course objective is to “Understand diverse models of interdisciplinary team practice in health settings and their relevance for addressing social determinants of health.”; View Details

Title: OSU Aphasia Initiative
Description: The OSU Aphasia Initiative (AI) is a community-engaged clinical and learning program that provides students with hands-on experience working with adults who have chronic aphasia and other cognitive-communication disabilities. Founded in 2015, the Initiative blends interprofessional education (IPE), clinical training, and community service into a single learning environment. Students from Speech-Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, Medical Dietetics, and related disciplines participate in group sessions where they interact directly with “members”-adults living with long-term communication disabilities. These interactions give students practical experience in adapting communication, building rapport, and supporting meaningful participation. The AI also functions as a “live lab” for practicing assessment, communication-support strategies, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The purpose of this IPE experience is to help future clinicians learn how to effectively accommodate communication disabilities within their own professional roles, while promoting holistic, person-centered care. Students gain experience that many health-professional curricula do not typically provide, such as learning how aphasia affects daily living, health management, and access to services. Students completing this experience will be able to:

1.) Describe how aphasia impacts communication, participation, and well-being.
2.) Apply communication-support strategies during discipline-specific interactions.
3.) Recognize the complementary roles of various health professions in serving individuals with chronic communication disabilities.
4.) Participate collaboratively in a community-based, person-centered environment

This experience is ideal for students seeking meaningful engagement with adults with communication disabilities, interdisciplinary teamwork, and real-world application of communication-support skills.; View Details

Title: Interprofessional Practice and Education (IPE) Vision Hackathon
Description: The Interprofessional Practice and Education (IPE) Vision Hackathon is a high-impact, team-based innovation experience that convenes learners and partners from multiple disciplines to tackle a real-world community health challenge. In a short, structured “sprint” format (often 24-48 hours), interprofessional learner teams work through a design-thinking process—clarifying the problem, identifying root causes, and building a practical solution that can be tested or implemented. The event is designed to be highly applied and collaborative, with coaching and mentorship available during the experience and a culminating pitch to judges. In addition to generating actionable ideas, the hackathon is intentionally aligned with nationally recognized interprofessional competencies1 (values/ethics, roles and responsibilities, communication, and teamwork) so participants strengthen their ability to collaborate across professions while producing a deliverable that has clear community value.

For the upcoming IPE Vision Hackathon pilot (planned for Autumn Semester 2026), the theme will center on a community-based school screening scenario that moves beyond “screening alone” to focus on what happens after a concern is identified. The case will reflect the realities schools and families face—especially the gap between identifying a need and successfully connecting a child to follow-up care. The experience will take place on campus, but center around Harambee Christian School, a community partner of the College of Optometry for many years. Student participants will include nursing, public health, and optometry, with the option to expand the professional mix to strengthen interdisciplinary problem-solving (e.g., social work, law, medicine—including online programs—veterinary medicine, and pharmacy)

A central principle guiding this IPE Vision Hackathon is an explicit commitment to ethical, community-responsive design. It is not ethical to conduct screenings if the system cannot also support meaningful intervention or referral, and this hackathon case will intentionally surface that complexity. In the context of vision/hearing screening requirements and common school-based practices, teams will be asked to explore why screening results alone do not improve outcomes—and to design solutions that address the real barriers families experience (such as cost, transportation, health literacy, access to providers, and broader structural factors). The goal is to generate strategies and partnership models that help children and families successfully navigate from identification to care, in ways that are feasible and sensitive to community context.; View Details
