DESCRIPTION
This workshop, led by Dr. Scott Engum and Dr. Pam Jeffries, will take place in the new simulation facility jointly operated by Indiana University School of Medicine, Indiana University School of Nursing and Clarian Health. This state-of-the art simulation center was conceived as an environment where students and health care providers can learn to apply cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills in a interdisciplinary approach. The workshop will prepare you to develop interdisciplinary simulations for your own curriculum. Short video clips of interdisciplinary simulations will provide examples, and participants will develop their own simulation and present it for feedback by the group.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

• Discuss the importance of interdisciplinary education
• Describe approaches to develop an interdisciplinary partnership
• Identify different strategies to incorporate interdisciplinary activities in your teaching
• Discuss future implications of interdisciplinary education
