COMPtime: University of New England Student reflections on IPE

This is a video from the IPE module COMPtime.
COMPtime (as in time for competency): Competencies for Collaborative Health Care is the University of New England (UNE) Center for Excellence in Interprofessional Education (CEIPE)'s series of interactive online modules designed to demonstrate UNE's IPE priorities to graduate students, new faculty, and faculty teaching within the IPEC curriculum. The modules deliver multi-media explanations and demonstrations of the four core IPEC competencies:
• knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of other health professions
• interprofessional and interpersonal communication
• teamwork
• ethics
In addition, the modules also address
• leadership
• patient-centeredness
COMPtime benefits from curricular development by UNE faculty and staff, and professional script development by Add Verb Productions and expert video and editing by UNE's media professionals including the Simulation Lab. These materials are designed to:
• pique student curiosity about what others do
• demonstrate how common attitudes and goals are shared
• promote respect across disciplines
• enhance the process by which health professionals consider and choose to make referrals to colleagues from other health disciplines
The modules follow a patient through a six month period from one dental cleaning to another. She finds out she has type 2 diabetes via an ER admit for a broken ankle precipitated by bad balance and obesity. We will introduce the team as she meets them, and demonstrate roles, communication, teamwork and ethics through their interactions with her and each other.
These modules set the stage for all other IPE opportunities on campus.
Available Now: COMPtime: Competencies for Collaborative Health Care An introduction to Interprofessional Education, including the 2011 publication by the IPEC Expert Panel, Core Competencies for Collaborative Practice, national initiatives TeamSTEPPS and National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), and insights from students regarding the future utility of this training.
Coming Soon: COMPtime: Roles and Responsibilities An overview of the roles and responsibilities of a health professions team that emphasizes the distinct perspectives that each discipline brings to the delivery of care. Students see clear illustrations of why it is relevant for each profession to be informed about the roles and responsibilities of others. This is critical to our students' understanding of why and how a team-based approach can and must be cultivated. This module will include brief, informative descriptions of all the health professions programs at UNE as well as links to more detailed descriptions and resources.
