Interprofessional Education and Communication in Health Care: Experiences and Challenges in the U.S.A. and Greece
Rutgers’ School of Communication and Information and School of Health Professions in collaboration with Democritus University of Thrace are hosting this two-part global e-symposium. The event features experts from both universities in interprofessional education (IPE), communication, clinical training, and research.
In the first session of this e-symposium, panelists will discuss recent and enduring research findings on IPE and communication, as well as approaches and best practices for safer patient handoffs in clinical settings, including, for instance, the adoption and implementation of mnemonics such as the SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation). The second session will address the current challenges of IPE in the United States and Greece. An interactive discussion between the speakers and the audience will follow each session.
This event is part of an e-symposia series that is a component of a collaboration between Rutgers’ School of Communication and Information and School of Health Professions in the context of the International Academic Partnership Program-Greece (IAPP-Greece), an academic incubator program sponsored in 2020 by the Greek Ministry of Education, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Institute of International Education, among other organizations.
This event is free and open to the public. Register in advance to attend.
December 6, 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
