Interprofessional Health Conference to be Hosted at Canadore

Nov 19, 2018 | Canadore College

(NORTH BAY, ONT.) – Tomorrow, students from Canadore College will be taking part in a conference highlighting the importance of interprofessional and interdisciplinary health care practice in the workplace.

The conference will see nearly 600 students from nine programs within Canadore College’s School of Health, Human Care and Wellness, including the Nipissing University/Canadore College Collaborative BScN program, apply acquired knowledge from their respective programs to a case study.

The sessions will carry out a common scenario that was designed to encourage students to work cooperatively to analyze and discuss interprofessional collaboration competencies from the National Interprofessional Competency Framework (NCIF). Proficiencies within interprofessional educational simulations aim to assist participants improve:

The use of appropriate language when speaking to other healthcare providers, patients and families
Understanding that all healthcare providers contribute to the collaborative patient care unit
Showing respect and building trust among team members
Turning to colleagues for answers
Supporting each other when mistakes are made, and celebrating together when success is achieved.

Canadore College is recognized provincially as a leader in the integration of interprofessional education and collaboration competencies into all of their health and human service programs.

Media are welcome to attend.
