Implementation of an Interprofessional Education Case Study During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Report.

This article discusses the importance of interprofessional education (IPE) programming and provides discussion and student evaluation data on implementation of a virtual IPE COVID-19 patient case study. Represented disciplines included athletic training, clinical psychology, communication sciences and disorders, nursing, nutrition and dietetics, physician assistant, and social work. Faculty committee members from each discipline developed a case study that followed COVID-19 patients in a family and allowed for students to explore cultural considerations within the case. Sixty-four of the 80 students who participated in the event responded to a survey of close-ended and open-ended questions in a predominantly positive manner. Utilizing the experience of this IPE case study and feedback from student participants, we conclude with suggestions for future IPE programming.
