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.

Training Topics Include: 
  • Teaming is a verb
  • Rapid teaming barriers are recognizable
  • Leading is actionable
  • Team culture is synergistic
  • Team assessment is adaptive
  • Learning from rapid teaming reflections cultivates capacity and flexibility
  • Rapid teaming skill development is achievable 
  • Action planning is essential

Academic health institutions have traditionally provided education uniprofessionally where students from a single profession learn together in parallel or interactively. Many organizations are working to move beyond the historically entrenched discipline-specific models to provide interprofessional education (IPE) across colleges, but they have yet to fully implement IPE because institutional factors inhibit progress. One area that remains largely unexplored is an understanding of organizational models for IPE. However, recent efforts have been underway to address this. A survey of Texas IPE Consortium members was conducted in 2020 to explore institutional characteristics and their relationship to IPE implementation, and a national survey was conducted in 2019 by the American Interprofessional Health Collaborative (AIHC) and National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education to explore the status of how interprofessional practice and education is organized in the U.S. This conversation will address various organizational features such as IPE structure, financing, leadership, personnel, learners, and more. The event will include a keynote presentation by Dr. Christine Kaunas from Texas A&M University Health, moderated breakout rooms, and group discussions/debriefs. Honored guests will include AIHC Organizational Models Task Force Co-Chairs Dr. Elena Umland from Jefferson University and Dr. Heather Hageman from Washington University in St. Louis.  

We hope you join us for this virtual Conversation in IPE!

Free Zoom Event: Registration Required

Providing synchronous learning opportunities that are also engaging can be challenging but are often required to meet interprofessional accreditation standards. Recent pandemic protocols are forcing educators to be adaptive and innovative in providing meaningful clinical experiences that overcome physical distancing barriers by moving these opportunities online. Virtual Interprofessional Simulation (VISion) is an experiential learning activity conducted using a web-conferencing platform with standardized patients (SPs). VISion can be used to provide interprofessional collaborative practice experiences while connecting learners in meaningful interactions with peers, faculty, and SPs. Measurable student outcomes of VISion include increased confidence in IP communication, a greater understanding of health professional roles, enhanced clinical competence, and the ability to balance one’s priorities with those of the patient and other team members. 

This zoom event includes instruction on the development of synchronous VISion activities with SPs that optimize online clinical learning. Participants will be provided access to a case development worksheet and resources for effective facilitation, assessment, and sustainability of VISion. Leading-edge techniques and latest knowledge in IP simulation will be shared. Presenters will guide participants through the VISion development process and offer customized solutions to address unique IPE barriers and issues related to IPE of distance learners.

Agenda: 
  • Large Group Presentation: Provide background on the need for synchronous interprofessional simulations for distance students: knowledge gaps, benefits, and barriers to VISion implementation. Share examples of VISion scenario timeline/set-up. Describe opportunities and strategies for maximizing technology through VISion with SPs. Outline process for developing and assessing VISion case scenarios, including the application of standards for high-quality VISion facilitation. Discuss and share resources/repositories for VISion case development and assessment tools. Q&A
  • Small Group Breakout Session: Work as a group to complete VISion planning worksheet, including exploring strengths and weaknesses of the VISion methods selected by the group and how these can be leveraged in planning future cases.
  • Group Debriefing and Final Q&A

On March 28, 2018, the consortium sponsored a TeamSTEPPS® Master Training Course at UTMB. The training course was provided at no cost to approximately 45 faculty, preceptors, and consortium members. The training was conducted in support of the consortium’s initiative that every learner graduating with a health-related degree in the state of Texas be trained in TeamSTEPPS® Fundamentals 2.0. By harnessing expertise from across the consortium and providing Master Training free of charge, individuals gained skills that enable them to distribute TeamSTEPPS® within their institution and regional area. Results from course evaluations indicated that participants were highly satisfied with the event. The consortium plans to offer an annual IPE training course in the spring.

The Spring Meeting of the Texas IPE Consortium was held on March 29, 2018 at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas. Approximately 50 participants from over 27 institutions attended the meeting, which featured inter-institutional networking, hands-on workshops, university IPE activity shares, brainstorming and problem-solving sessions, thematic tabletop discussions, and strategic planning sessions.

The Texas IPE Consortium functions as a Community of Practice (CoP).  CoPs are “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly" (Wenger, 1998). By creating a culture of learning, planning, and working together, the consortium has been a driving force in the momentum and the passion for spreading quality interprofessional practice and education across Texas. Over the past three years, the consortium has been relentless in its mission to share best practices, facilitate the successful implementation of team-based collaborative care in a variety of practice settings, and develop collaborative, innovative, and interprofessional pedagogies.
