IOM Global Forum Workshop & Webinar

Transdisciplinary Professionalism

May 14-15, 2013 
The agenda is available via this link and is reprinted below. 

The high-quality webinar registration is available via registration here.

 

Hello ACCAHC Leaders - This workshop is an exciting opportunity for front-line experience in best practices in health professional education. The concept is "transdisciplinary professionalism." It's the first 2013 workshop of the IOM Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education of which ACCAHC is a member via support from a foundation grant. ACCAHC's chair Elizabeth Goldblatt, PhD, MPA/HA was on the planning committee and has had a hand in suggesting some presenters. (See below.) We are helping put "Health and Well-Being" into the dialogue! Turn on the webinar! - John Weeks, Executive Director

"Transdisciplinary Professionalism" - Brief Statement of Task for the Workshop
Efforts to improve patient care and population health are traditional tenets of all the health professions, as is a focus on professionalism. But in a time of rapidly changing environments and evolving technologies, health professionals and those who train them are being challenged to work outside their comfort zones, often in teams. Today a "new professionalism" is needed that applies throughout health care and wellness and that emphasizes cross-disciplinary responsibilities and accountability to achieve improved outcomes. This need has prompted consideration of developing a "transdisciplinary professionalism"- defined as an approach to creating and carrying out a shared social contract that ensures multiple health disciplines, working in concert, are worthy of the trust of patients and the public. Read more here ... 
Issues to Be Addressed
The issues to be addressed at the workshop include the following:

How can the "shared understanding" be integrated into education and practice to promote a transdisciplinary model of professionalism?
  • What are the ethical implications of a transdisciplinary professionalism?
  • How can health and wellness be integrated into transdisciplinary education and practice?
  • How is "leadership"taught and practiced within a model of transdisciplinary professionalism?
What are the barriers to transdisciplinary professionalism?
What measures are relevant to transdisciplinary professionalism?
What is the impact of an evolving professional context on patients, students and others working within the healthcare system? 
Workshop Objectives
  • To explore and define what professionalism means and the impact this has on collaboration among health professions within and between education and practice around the world;
  • To discuss opportunities for teaching and promoting professionalism in a variety of environments and settings that include clinical, community and population health;
  • To engage the Forum members in the development of a transdisciplinary framework for professionalism;
  • To consider the impact implementation of a cross disciplinary code of ethics could have on different stakeholders (students, patients, community, hospital staff and administration) and improving trust among them, as well as improving quality and efficiency in care.
ACCAHC Core Theme Featured: Health and Wellbeing in Transdisciplinary Professionalism 
On Tuesday May 14, from 1:45-3:00, a set of four small groups will explore 'Key Areas within Transdisciplinary Professionalism."  One segment features a core theme ACCAHC was charged by the Board of Directors to seek to elevate in the dialogue: the importance of education professionals who will not merely be reactive but focus on health creation. The breakout, entitled Health and Wellbeing in Transdisciplinary Professionalism entitled was elevated into the dialogue via workshop planning committee member, Elizabeth Goldblatt, PhD, MPA/HA, ACCAHC chair. Mary Jo Kreitzer, PhD, RN, a member of the ACCAHC Council of Advisers, will lead the section.
