Objectives

The specific objectives of this project are to:

  1. Design, develop and implement a technology-facilitated learning experience that actually simulates Interprofessional practice settings,
  2. Develop formative and summative assessment tools to assess how well the technology facilitated the participants' learning experience and contributed to the development of the identified Interprofessional competencies,
  3. Ensure that the technology facilitated learning experiences are accessible and adaptable to a variety of contexts and settings.
  4. Evaluate the extent to which the technology facilitated learning experience prepares students for actual practice.
Expected outcomes include:
  1. Adoption and implementation of the REAL project within the Queen's Faculty of Health Sciences,
  2. The establishment of new IPE relationships facilitated by this project,
  3. Improved feasibility and acceptance of IPE for both academic teachers and clinical preceptors,
  4. Improved acceptance of IPE amongst learners,
  5. Facilitation of entry to effective IP practice by demonstration of IP competence in a virtual
    environment during the pre-registration phase.
