Group of Texas IPE Consortium Members Standing on a Staircase

Welcome to the Texas Interprofessional Education (IPE) Consortium!

Interprofessional practice and education (IPE) prepares future health practitioners to successfully participate in collaborative, patient-centered care. However, the successful implementation of IPE within higher education remains elusive to many institutions. As one strategy to address this, leadership from academic health sciences centers in the state of Texas formed the Texas Interprofessional Education (IPE) Task Force in 2015. Renamed the Texas Interprofessional Education (IPE) Consortium in 2018, the purpose of the consortium is to foster cross-institutional collaboration in order to expand learning opportunities and reinforce value for IPE as a critical aspect of health professions education.

The Rapid Teaming in Experiential Learning Environments Certificate Course delves into the dynamic world of teaming in healthcare. Teaming, as a verb, encapsulates the dynamic, and fluid nature of individuals coming together to achieve common visions and goals. Rapid teaming is done in fast-paced environments, in which traditional team structures are often elusive, thus, the ability to rapidly form and collaborate within diverse teams is paramount. Teaming is about surviving in a constantly changing landscape while also thriving and achieving outstanding results. 

In this course, designed for faculty and preceptors, we explore the concept of teaming as an individual and team learning process beyond traditional team boundaries. We recognize the challenges of assembling stable teams for learners and healthcare professionals in experiential learning environments. This course emphasizes the importance of purposeful interactions where individuals swiftly identify and capitalize on their personal and professional strengths as effective team members, and focuses on instilling essential skills for teaming, such as leading, communicating, self-reflecting, recognizing interdependence, and embracing the perspectives of other team members. Drawing on Team Science principles, participants will become team diagnosticians, capable of recognizing team strengths, weaknesses, and short-term needs. The course offers common, easy-to-understand team effectiveness principles and strategies that serve as a shared mental model for all team members. 

Join us to equip yourself with the knowledge, skills, and flexibility needed to navigate the challenges of rapid teaming in today’s healthcare environment. Upon completing the 12-hour certificate course of pre-course work and live virtual training, you will be able to apply newly learned techniques during rapid teaming. You will also be able to effectively train learners to become productive members of dynamic healthcare teams to ensure optimal patient outcomes through rapid collaboration, communication, and coordination.

Approximately 6 hrs of online pre-work must be completed at least 3 days prior to the virtual training.
