Interprofessional practice is important for students to learn how to work together to provide comprehensive patient-centered care. Collaborative team-based education has been shown to improve patient outcomes1, develop safety awareness and communication skills2, strengthen teamwork3, improve knowledge of other professions4, and prepare students for practice in the real world5. The panelists are from two interprofessional clinics, Center for Life Skills through Ithaca College which serves people who had a stroke and Creighton Pediatrics from Creighton University which serves children. Through interactive discussion, participants will learn how an interprofessional clinical setting and a faculty based pediatric practice provides students with the skills needed to practice with other professions.
