In response the growing need for well-designed simulation-based and interprofessional learning experiences, we are in integrating interprofessional education (IPE) with simulations and standardized patients for this workshop. This workshop is designed to advance the knowledge and skill of individuals/programs currently using simulations, standardized patients, and interprofessional education. 

Developed as a true workshop, sessions will include facilitated discussion questions, followed by workshop sessions where participants will get individualized time with facilitators to implement strategies into their own program’s curriculum and assessment plan. 

Goal

The goal of the Advanced Uses of Standardized Patients & Interprofessional Education in Athletic Training & Healthcare Education workshop is to expand participant’s capacity in intentionally integrating simulations and interprofessional education throughout their curriculum for teaching and assessment. 

Objectives

After attending this workshop, participants will:

1. Distinguish the information needed to prepare students for simulation-based and interprofessional learning experience;
2. Map the use of simulations, standardized patients, and interprofessional education experiences across your curriculum;
3. Develop and implement advanced simulations, such as OSCEs, IPE simulations; 
4. Develop assessment tools appropriate to the learning activity; 
5. Engage in workshop activities to integrate knowledge and skill within your own program’s curriculum and assessment plan.

The workshop is not just for athletic training educators! Faculty, preceptors, and clinicians from all healthcare disciplines are welcome (and encouraged) at attend. You will leave with the materials to begin implementing standardized patients immediately.
