Simple handouts with notes or recording charts may be of assistance. <ul> <li>In one PLP situation, one of the facilitators sought advice from the profession specific preceptors in identifying selected patients that all students could review and/or engage with in preparation for the weekly tutorials. Students were then given advance notice that they should ensure they included this patient contact in their time on the unit.<br /> <br /> </li> </ul> </li> <ul> </ul> <li>Providing specific tips and instructions to content experts invited to present during the tutorials, helped these guests prepare to present to an interprofessional audience. <br /> <br /> <ul> <li>When one content expert failed to address the issues from an interprofessional perspective the student group was confused about how that information related to their own learning. <br /> <br /> </li> </ul> </li> <li>Different learning and communication styles become evident in small group activities and discussion. It is part of the facilitator s role to anticipate these differences and create a climate where they are welcomed and incorporated into the learning process. Having facilitators work in teams (as co-facilitators vs. a junior and senior role) models how different styles can contribute to learning. <br /> <br /> </li> <li>At the onset of the IPE placement, it proved useful to arrange a tour of the placement unit and be introduced to the team members to strengthen the student s sense of being welcome to interact with all members of the team. <br /> </li> </ul> </ul> <p align="right"><br /> <img src="../images/top.gif" alt="to top of page" width="16" height="21" align="absmiddle" /><a href="#top" class="totop">to top</a> </div> <p><img src="../images/sick_kids-experience.gif" alt="PLP learning from the SickKids experience" width="38" height="51" /></p> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4><br /> </h4> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4><br /> </h4> <p><a name="challenges" id="Ongoing Challenges"></a><strong>Ongoing Challenges</strong></p> <div class="synopsis"> <ul> <li>The concepts associated with IPE, and the distinctions between IPC and multi-disciplinary practice, were often obscure to many of the stakeholders and members of the host team. Communications need to be carefully crafted to respect the team s existing knowledge and practices while still being explicit about the learning goals associated with an IPE placement.</li> <br /> <li>Time management on the part of the students remains an ongoing challenge as placements already challenged students with clinical learning expectations before the addition of IPE into the same time period. Those leading and guiding the IPE placements need to be mindful and supportive of the students as they strive to build time management skills to satisfy these multiple expectations. As preceptors become more knowledgeable and engaged in IPE learning, they may prove to be invaluable in helping incorporate IPE components into all of their placements.<br /> </li> </ul> <ul> <div align="right"> <p><br /> <img src="../images/top.gif" alt="to top of page" width="16" height="21" align="absmiddle" /><a href="#top" class="totop">to top</a> </p> <p><img src="../images/arrowbullet.gif" alt="next" width="19" height="14" align="absmiddle" /><a href="student-presentation.html" class="totop">to next tutorial</a></p> </div> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="boxCopy" align="left"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <table width="850" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <caption align="top"> <strong class="health style1 style5">The Partnered Learning Project Participants</strong> <br /> <br /> </caption> <tr> <td width="301" valign="top"><div align="right"><img src="../images/sick_kids.jpg" alt="Sick Kids Learning Institute" width="118" height="70" align="top" /></div></td> <td width="218" valign="top"><div align="center"><img src="../images/toronto_rehab.gif" alt="Toronto Rehabilitation Institute" width="118" height="70" /></div></td> <td width="301" valign="top"><div align="left"><img src="../images/cheo-s.gif" alt="Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontarion | Centre hospitalier pour enfants de l'est de l'Ontario" width="118" height="70" /></div></td> </tr> </table> <p align="center"><br /> <br /> <a href="../index.html">HOME</a> " <a href="../About/index.html">ABOUT</a> " <a href="../contact.html">CONTACT</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p align="center">This site is presented courtesy of The Hospital for Sick Children. <br /> The Hospital for Sick Children, or SickKids is a health care, teaching and research centre dedicated exclusively to children; affiliated with the University of Toronto. <br /> Copyright © 1999 - 2009 The Hospital for Sick Children.
