Patient Experience in Health Professions Curriculum Development.

Unlabelled: To enhance student learning, many health profession programs are embracing involvement of patients in their curricula, yet little is known about the impact of such an experience on patients.

Objective: To understand the experiences of patients who contributed to the creation of a Verbatim Reader's Theater used in health professions curriculum.

Methods: A semi-structured interview was conducted with a focus group of 3 patients who participated in curriculum development.

Understanding Partnerships With Patients/Clients in a Team Context Through Verbatim Theater.

Introduction: Patient partnership has come to the forefront in health care practice and education, influencing professional programs and interprofessional education curricula. While students conceptually understand the idea of partnering with the patient, the practice of doing so is more challenging. Innovative ways to teach this health care approach may be effective in enabling students to apply their learning and promote enhanced patient partnerships.
