Facilitator Meetings
The Process | Adaptation of Materials | Lessons Learned
- Meetings between the IPE leader and the co-facilitators were scheduled pre-, mid- and post- the IPE placement in order to assess the students’ progress and need for intervention. The focus of the pre- and mid-placement meetings was a review of the placement’s organization, the content and design of the tutorials, and the students’ engagement in the placement. The meetings also served to keep the IPE leader up to date with respect to the specific details of the placement, and allowed the co-facilitators to strategize for the placement.
- The post-placement meeting allowed the co-facilitators to reflect on the process and provide insight into how the placement could be enhanced and or adapted for different teams.
- Agenda’s for each meeting were either used or adapted from Toronto Rehab.
(see Resources Sample IPE Facilitator Prep Mtg Agenda)
- Formal meeting times are useful to ensure that there is sufficient time for discussion. With busy schedules the co-facilitators felt that without having set time aside that the de-brief meeting may not have occurred.
- While there were agendas in place, an open discussion generally elicits feedback and is an effective strategy to review progress.
