CREDIT HOURS: 0
This course is intended to prepare students to work in a collaborative and patient/client/community/family-centered work environments. Students in Faculty of Health undergraduate programs are required to maintain registration in this course for the duration of their studies. The student will be required to have completed, by the end of their program of study, a total number of different, meaningful and relevant interprofessional collaborative learning experiences (as determined and approved by the School/College) equal to two times the number of years or part of years of study in the program. At least one of these experiences will be in a practice setting (which could include a simulated practice setting). In the event there are no students from other professions in any of the student's practice settings, credit may be granted for interactions with non-student professionals which follow an approved structured format. The experiences will include interactions with undergraduate and/or graduate students from a total of at least 4 different related professions with which there are natural affinities or linkages in the professional environment, some professions of which are outside the student's home School/College. In accordance with the guidelines/requirements of the home School/College, students will prepare a portfolio (or comparable document/process) which maps their interprofessional collaborative learning experiences on to the specific requirements of the School/College. The portfolio will be graded by the School/College on a Pass/Fail basis. Successful completion of this course is a requirement for graduation in all programs, and will be recognized further with the awarding of a special Certificate in Interprofessional Collaboration to be presented by the Faculty of Health.
