Abstract:
In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) saw the direction of healthcare and provided a Framework for Action as guidance on the integration of interprofessional education. Interprofessional collaboration is a partnership between teams of providers and clients that use an approach for shared decision-making to provide
patient-centered care (Haefner and Filter, 2022). The behavioral health profession sees the need to educate counselors to work in an interdisciplinary environment, as demonstrated in The Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP)’s Standards. The American Academy of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) specifies “Interprofessional Collaboration” as a core competency of advanced practice nursing (AACN, 2021).
The presentation aims to provide counselors and nursing educators with applicable andragogy activities to introduce interprofessional collaborative practice. Introducing this paired course design aims to provide clinical mental health therapists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners to be successful team members of an interdisciplinary team. The suggested paired activities will develop collaborative practices such as problem-solving, understanding roles, promoting critical thinking skills, learning how to coordinate care, and developing appropriate communication skills to improve the quality of care for patients (Peterson, Pittenger, Kass, and Lounsbery, 2019). The activities presented align with the Four Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (2016): values/ethics for interprofessional practice, roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, collaboration, and teamwork. The mission of the paired course design aims to amplify interprofessional aspects into the existing courses' learning objectives through simulation-based education activities, lectures, patient-centered case studies, and theme-centered workshops conducted by students from each discipline.
