Poster Abstract:
Health professional education requires opportunities for interprofessional education often in the form of experiential learning in simulation labs or clinical environments. Principles of interprofessional communication, including provider and patient, are foundational aspects of health care professional development. There is a lack of high-quality, cost-effective, flexible means for teaching these principles and allowing students practice opportunities. Building on research done provincially, nationally, and internationally, the presenter had an opportunity to plan a mini-sabbatical within CHES and get input to network on her foundational work developing and testing a Global Interprofessional Therapeutic Communication Scale© (GITCS©). Brining her BC nursing team members together with national experts in Virtual Gaming Simulation and many colleagues met through her CHES mini-sabbatical, a research project to develop open education research modules for interprofessional use was begun including: team formation, grant submission, and outlining a timeline and plan for delivery. This presentation will provide the authors perception of barriers and facilitators to the process, opportunities for further research development, and lessons learned.
Objectives:
1. Participants will identify steps to positive mini-sabbatical experience
2. Participants will recognize benefits to an interprofessional lens on their research
3. Participants will analyze steps to research team creation
