UUHSC 6301 - IPE Telemedicine/Telehealth

The goal of interprofessional collaboration and education is to encourage increased knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of other disciplines, and to improve communication and collaboration among disciplines in future work settings (Institute of Medicine, 2011). This interdisciplinary course is designed to prepare students for deliberately working together to improve the safety and quality of the health care utilizing telemedicine technology in rural communities. Through simulation-based patient care management scenarios, health profession students are provided the opportunity to engage in interactive learning with other disciplines using this technology.
