IP 730. Interprofessional Collaboration in Rural Public Health. 3 Hours.
The purpose of this course is to provide experiential interprofessional educational opportunities to students in the healthcare professions, with a focus on public health and health disparities in the State of Maine. Students from across the College of Health and Education (COHE) - undergraduate Nursing, graduate programs in Nursing (Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator programs), Counseling, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy - as well as students from the School of Pharmacy (SOP) - will collaborate in studying, developing and implementing strategies to improve the overall health of the people of Maine. There are two primary goals to be achieved through this course: 1) to provide an interprofessional learning environment that allows undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students in healthcare professions programs to develop and maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values and, 2) to provide COHE and SOP students with an understanding of the issues of health disparities in a rural state and offer new paradigms for an interprofessional collaborative approach to care.
