Fast forward over 20 years: this single profession clinic has transformed into an interprofessional experiential learning environment that gives students authentic hands-on opportunities to collaborate with other health profession students while providing care. \nThe renamed “Student-Led Interprofessional Clinic (SLIC)” has expanded to bring together students from physical therapy\, occupational therapy\, respiratory therapy\, pharmacy\, and nursing. Feedback from students\, clients\, and preceptors has been overwhelmingly positive. Feedback received has been integrated to continuously make changes to improve student learning (but not without some speedbumps along the way). \nThis presentation will give an overview of the clinic’s continued evolution\, sharing the practical lessons learned about what worked (and didn’t) to transform a clinic from a group of students into genuine interprofessional learning teams. We’ll cover how SLIC built experiences that benefit everyone involved: students gaining collaborative skills\, clients receiving more holistic care\, and programs meeting targets for clinical experiences for their learners. \nSpeaker Biographies: \nSarah Conci \nSarah Conci is an instructor in the Department of Physical Therapy within the College of Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Manitoba. She has been a physical therapy clinical instructor at the Student-Led Interprofessional Clinic (SLIC) since 2018 and served as the SLIC Coordinator from 2018 to 2026. She is often affectionately called the SLIC “mastermind”. Sarah is also a practicing physical therapist with extensive experience in acute care and neurological rehabilitation environments. She is passionate about interprofessional collaboration and believes that when health professionals work together\, they not only create a more enjoyable and rewarding learning and working environment but can also draw on their collective expertise to provide better care and help clients achieve meaningful health outcomes. \n  \nLisa Mendez \nLisa Mendez is an instructor in the Department of Occupational Therapy within the College of Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Manitoba and is the Collaborative Healthcare Practice Lead for the Office of Interprofessional Collaboration (OIPC). While her primary role within the OIPC has been to develop interprofessional community engaged learning opportunities within Indigenous communities\, she was a preceptor for the OT students at SLIC in 2023 and 2024 and has been supporting the clinic’s growth and development. She is often affectionately called the SLIC “schemer”.

The simulation was co-developed with a team of academics from Toronto Metropolitan University and expert stroke clinicians from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. The simulation focuses on the roles of the team members in the context of an interprofessional integrated stroke care team coordinating the care of an older adult living with stroke and other comorbidities. The scenario evolves through two scenes which includes two care transitions: 1) acute care hospital to rehab hospital; and 2) rehab hospital back to home in the community. We will describe how the simulation can be used as an interprofessional education learning resource in academic and practice settings.

With limited resources\, educators face on-going challenges in\nensuring all learners meet a minimum level of exposure. The University of Manitoba Office of Interprofessional Collaboration has created a free and accessible asynchronous module\, building on a foundation previously delivered at the University of Toronto. With updated references\, infographics and video clips of those with lived experiences\, the module describes the six competency domains of the CIHC Competency Framework for Advancing Collaboration (CIHC\, 2024)\, essential for collaborative team-based care and services. This session will introduce the module\, its background\, development and on-going evaluation efforts. \nPresenters: \nMoni Fricke (she/her) \n \nMoni Fricke is a physiotherapist with multiple decades of experience as a clinician\, researcher and educator.

Until recently tools to assess this form of practice have been absent. Over the past several years\, a group of international ‘experts’ across six countries have worked together to address this gap. There are now audit tools developed and reviewed across a few IP International Conference Workshops to ensure they are useful. In this presentation you will be introduced to this work and how the four formative assessment tools can be used in practice settings. Furthermore\, you will be invited to be testers of these tools to evaluate their value and usefulness to the field. \nSpeaker Biography:\nDr. Orchard is currently Professor Emerita and Adjunct Research Professor in the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing and the former Coordinator of Interprofessional Health Education & Research at the University of Western Ontario. Her research focuses on interprofessional client-centred collaborative practice. Dr. Orchard and her colleagues have developed several measurement instruments: Interprofessional Socialization & Valuing Scale (ISVS) and the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale-II (AITCS-II for practitioners)\, AITCS-II for students\, Interprofessional Collaborative Leadership Scale (AICLS)\, and Patients with Diabetes Ownership of their Self-Care Scale (PD-SCOS). Dr. Orchard co-chaired the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative’s IP Competency Working Group who developed the CIHC National IP Competency Framework (2010) and assisted in the 2024 revision to the framework. She has also chaired an international working group on audit tools to measure the process of collaboration in teams. Now moving to testing of the tools. Dr. Orchard has also created an online program TEAMc (Toolkit for Enhancing and Maintaining Collaboration) to assist in the development of Interprofessional Collaborative Teams. This program is licensable for agency use through WorldDiscoveries at Western University. In 2015 she published a book with colleagues on Interprofessional Client-Centered Collaborative Practice: What does it look like? How can it be achieved? Dr. Orchard has also published articles on the role of nurses within collaborative teams. Her research currently focuses on the role of patients both in their own self-care and in collaborative teams. Currently she and colleagues are developing a Training Program in Interprofessional Team Conflict Resolution. And is co-editor with Dr. Hirronobu Matsushita of Innovative Collaboration in Healthcare published by Springer in 2024.Her work is frequently cited in the field of IPC.
