Dipping Your Toes in the Water: An Experiential Strategy to Recruit and Engage New Faculty in Interprofessional Education.

Aims: Engaged and trained faculty to support and role-model interprofessional education (IPE)-related concepts and behaviors are vital in the development, implementation, and sustainability of IPE academic teaching and training programs. Thus, recruitment of engaged faculty is essential for effective IPE expansion, scalability innovation, and sustainability across a variety of schools, programs, and students. The primary aim of this descriptive study was to implement a strategy to recruit and engage new IPE faculty and determine the strategy's effectiveness in increasing faculty's intent to participate in future IPE.

TouchPoint: Undergraduate Senior Immersion Activity.

Background: TouchPoint is an innovative approach to traditional clinical postconferences for prelicensure BSN students in an immersion experience. The aim of TouchPoint was to build relationships between faculty and students in an unscripted method of deep, meaningful, reflective sharing.

Methods: TouchPoint sessions were a synthesis of stories told by nursing students.

Using Simulation to Teach Transitions of Care for Hospitalized Patients.

Background: Understanding and facilitating the seamless and safe transitions of patients across high-acuity hospital settings are important for students to grasp in order to meet patient and family care needs.

Problem: Clinical placements do not always give students the opportunity to care for patients in various hospital settings or apply complex knowledge and skills learned in their didactic courses. Furthermore, the global pandemic has limited student clinical experiences in health care settings, underscoring the need for simulated clinical learning opportunities.
