“Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.”

A primary goal of the grant is to design and implement new interprofessional models of education at CHETN and CCHS. We are meeting this goal by creating interprofessional teams of graduate students in nursing, pharmacy, public health, and nutrition to provide care to rural and underserved clients. Training and care delivery are based on an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality training program, TeamSTEPPS for Primary Care.
Want to learn a model for team-based care that will enhance your career? Meet other students from other professions to train and work together in community health care? To join a team or learn more contact the program administrator, Meredith York, at mcody@utk.edu.
Readings to be completed prior to on-campus training day:
Please watch Poor Teamwork in the Primary Care Medical Office and then watch Good Teamwork in the Primary Care Medical Office.
Students seeing patients at Chota Community Health Services are required to watch several videos for Chota’s orientation. Many of the videos are on YouTube and can be accessed through the below links. However, there are also four additional videos that will need to be watched here at CON. Students are encouraged to contact either April Byrant the Faculty Liaison for CHETN abryan42@utk.edu or Libby King the Faculty Liaison for Chota (bking42@utk.edu) to set up an appointment to watch the videos prior to going to the clinic at Chota March 2nd. Ms. Bryant has office hours on Wednesdays from 9 p.m. to 3 p.m. in her office in room 154 and Ms. King has office hours on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in her office in room 127. Students will be given a quiz on several of the videos on their first day of going to Chota. All the Nursing students will be required to go through the orientation, but the Pharmacy, Nutrition and Public Health Students only need to watch the videos if they are assigned to the Chota site.
