IPE teaches the collaborative skills necessary for healthcare students to succeed in an increasingly diverse workforce. IPE also creates space for </span>healthcare organizations to develop diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) objectives within curriculum and clinical practice. IPE's focus on diversity is important because recent research indicates a lag in DEI initiatives in healthcare. To better integrate DEI objectives into healthcare curricula, faculty from an OTD and MAT program developed an interprofessional assignment that could be implemented across multiple programs. The assignment was designed to improve DEI and IPE competence in OT and AT education.</p><p>An OTD and a MAT course were chosen to pilot the IPE assignment. These courses were selected for two reasons: curricular content and logistic feasibility. A virtual synchronous and asynchronous format was determined as the best structure for the assignment. Students were asked to complete assigned readings and review a video about culturally sensitive topics, meet as an interprofessional group to discuss a healthcare encounter between a clinical staff and a transgender individual, and participate in an intraprofessional discussion board activity.</p><p>The primary student learning outcomes for this assignment were threefold 1) Demonstrate use of interprofessional collaborative skills such as communication and roles responsibilities 2) Analyze how interprofessional collaborative skills might be utilized to care for diverse populations and 3) Integrate the use of DEI constructs within discussions of planned care. A rubric was used to assess students in each of these areas. Additionally, a thematic analysis was generated to understand how students’ use of interprofessional education skills and knowledge could enhance the care of diverse populations.</p><p>Both groups of students in the pilot scored well.
