Interdisciplinary team receives seed grant funding from UMB Center for Interprofessional Education to provide students an opportunity to collaborate with other disciplines.
Kelly Doran, PhD ’11, MS ’08, RN, FAAN, associate professor, University of Maryland School of Nursing; Jackie Adams, MA, Office of Community Engagement; Danielle Baek, MD, director, University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) Department of Medicine Faculty Practice; and Norman Retener, MD, assistant professor, UMSOM, have been awarded a $20,000 seed grant for “CEC Public Health Community-Based IPE Training Program.”
The CEC Public Health Suite is a community-based, nurse-run public health intervention with an interprofessional education (IPE) focus that utilizes a patient-centered, trauma-informed, participatory service model that allows the neighbor to set the goal for each appointment and prioritize the needs to be addressed. The community-based IPE training program will provide students with an opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team with each member having a clearly defined role and responsibilities that require them to work collaboratively and communicate effectively with each other and the neighbors to ensure fidelity to the model and ensure that the neighbor’s stated need(s) are addressed.
