Twelve student volunteers from Indiana University School of Medicine, Indiana University School of Nursing, Chamberlin College of Nursing, Purdue College of Pharmacy, and Butler College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences recently completed MATEC Indiana’s first Interprofessional Collaborative Practice in HIV Prevention and Care program. The pilot program started late February 2017 and lasted four weeks.
The project, facilitated by faculty and partners from the Indiana University Center for Interprofessional Health Education and Practice, MATEC Indiana, and the schools listed above, was designed to introduce the key principles of interprofessional collaboration and provide a foundational knowledge of HIV/AIDS. To successfully complete the program, students participated in individual and group assignments, online modules, two in-person day-long seminars, and a clinical observation experience at the Eskenazi Infection Disease Clinic to see a real work example of an interprofessional team model. For the final assignment, the students worked in interprofessional teams to develop a care plan for an HIV-infected patienct, which they presented for program faculty at the second face-to-face seminar.
