Description
This interprofessional education course is designed to prepare pharmacy students to work in health care teams to improve the safety and quality of care for patients with chronic diseases in the ambulatory care setting. Through the use of simulation-based patient care management scenarios, health professions students are provided the opportunity to actively engage in learning with students from other health care professions including medicine, nursing, and others. Complex patient care management simulations form the basis for these interprofessional education experiences designed to teach the principles of team-based care, communication, patient-centered care, and improving patient outcomes.
