Substance Use Disorder Training Workshop for Future Interprofessional Health Care Providers.

Introduction: Rates of substance use disorders, including opioid misuse, continue to rise despite national initiatives. Because of this, health professional schools from Rhode Island joined together to design and implement a single-day interprofessional education workshop on substance use disorder training.

Methods: This workshop consists of four sessions.

An interprofessional education workshop to develop health professional student opioid misuse knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Objective: To implement and evaluate an interprofessional workshop focused on increasing student knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward opioid misuse.

Setting: The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, April 2016.

Practice Description: Health professional students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, and physical therapy participated in an interprofessional education workshop focused on opioid use disorder.

A Team-Based Practicum Bringing Together Students Across Educational Institutions and Health Professions.

Objective. To assess student perceptions of teamwork during an interprofessional exercise and to evaluate if students could identify domestic violence through a standardized patient interview. Design.

An introductory interprofessional exercise for healthcare students.

Objective: To evaluate healthcare students' perceptions of an introductory interprofessional exercise and their team dynamics.

Design: A workshop was developed, combining second-year medical students, fourth-year nursing students, and third-year pharmacy students to work as an interdisciplinary team. The teams alternated between working together on patient cases focusing on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, and on the evaluation of standardized pneumonia patients.
