Abstract

BACKGROUND Ensuring that nurses and other health care professionals are trained to work together in teams is critical. PROBLEM Recent literature describes interprofessional education (IPE) programs that meet community health needs. However, there is a need for descriptions of IPE programs embedded in the communities they serve. APPROACH Bridging the Gaps (BTG) is a collaboration between academic health institutions/universities and community organizations in the northeastern United States. BTG links IPE with the provision of health-related services for under resourced communities. This article describes the development of one BTG Community Health Internship Program (BTG CHIP) affiliate site (BTG, Lehigh Valley). OUTCOMES Since inception, 114 interns completed the program as part of BTG CHIP, Lehigh Valley, for a total of 3192 days of service provided to the community. BTG CHIP, Lehigh Valley, serves as a case study for establishing similar community-based IPE programs. This article describes challenges, opportunities, and replication strategies.

将跨专业社区卫生经验与护理教育联系起来：15 年如一日。

背景确保护士和其他医疗保健专业人员接受团队合作培训至关重要。问题最近的文献介绍了满足社区医疗需求的跨专业教育（IPE）计划。方法 "弥合差距"（BTG）是美国东北部学术卫生机构/大学与社区组织之间的一项合作项目。BTG 将 IPE 与为资源不足的社区提供健康相关服务联系起来。本文介绍了一个 BTG 社区卫生实习计划（BTG CHIP）附属机构（BTG，利哈伊谷）的发展情况。利哈伊谷 BTG CHIP 是建立类似社区 IPE 计划的案例研究。本文介绍了该项目面临的挑战、机遇和推广策略。
