Workshops

A. Interprofessional Clinics: Integrating Interprofessional Education and Practice into Ambulatory Primary Care Settings - FULL - Junior AB

Join other colleagues who are either involved in an interprofessional clinic or are interested in exploring the concept further. Space, service models, learning activities, evaluation metrics, and sustainability are a few of the topics for discussion. This afternoon workshop is designed to facilitate networking, identify existing interprofessional clinics and their characteristics, and create collaborative projects to further develop interprofessional clinics as preferred models for collaborative learning and practice. Participants will be have time in the workshop to develop project teams as well as a framework for a collaborative project including identified steps for knowledge exchange.

B. The 'Deteriorating Patient Simulation': A Pedagogical Strategy for Teaching Dynamic Clinical Reasoning in Practice - FULL - Junior C


Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP
Jeffrey Wiseman MD MAEd FRCPC
Centre for Medical Education and Division of General Internal Medicine, McGill University, Montreal PQ, Canada

During this workshop the participants will take part in a Deteriorating Patient Simulation (DPS). They will discuss its relationship to simulations in health professions education, and its use in multiple practice contexts. They will then have an opportunity to design and demonstrate a DPS that is relevant to their own setting. By the end of this workshop the participants will be able to describe a Deteriorating Patient Simulation and list the contexts where it can be used, design and demonstrate a Deteriorating Patient Simulation for their own discipline, adapt this simulation to teach varying numbers and different levels and types of learners and outline the components of an effective simulation and the indications for and limitations of simulations in clinical practice and teaching settings.


C. HSPnet - Port McNeil

Developed by the practice education community of BC with support from expert consultants, HSPnet has evolved into a tool which is being implemented across Canada and enhanced through contributions from each province.

If you are already a user, planning HSPnet implementation, or considering the system to improve practice education management in your jurisdiction, this workshop is for you. Meet your colleagues, share experiences and plans, and help to shape HSPnet to meet local and national needs.

PRACTICE EDUCATION INNOVATION FUND PROJECTS - Pavilion CD

The Practice Education Innovation Fund (PEIF) is a provincial fund to support projects that help health-care students gain practical experience and will prepare tomorrow's professionals to offer excellent care to British Columbians.

PEIF, supported by the ministries of Advanced Education and Health, encourages collaborative, innovative, and sustainable solutions from hospitals, laboratories, other health-care organizations and post-secondary education institutions to expand and improve practice education options.

To date, 58 PEIF projects have been funded, with topics ranging from distributed education, new practice learning models, rural and remote placements, simulation, preceptor education, and infrastructure development.

To build on the success and momentum of these projects, and to move toward a coordinated province-wide approach to Practice Education, the Wednesday morning session will allow for dynamic focused conversations among PEIF project teams and conference participants to share research and lessons learned, and to identify what needs to happen to continue the forward momentum generated by these various Practice Education initiatives.

Based on an Open-Space process, participants will select from a list of topics which discussion they want to attend - this ensures that the right people will be in each of the facilitated discussions. Open-Space is a self-organizing process that enables groups of any size to come together around complex, important issues and accomplish something meaningful.
