Physical Therapy and Speech-Language Students Team Up for Interprofessional Education Experience
 The Departments of Physical Therapy and Speech-Language Pathology in the School of Health Sciences and Practice found lots to talk about at their first interprofessional education (IPE) event at the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center on January 24. Forty-three Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) students and 39 speech-language pathology (SLP) master's students completed two standardized patient experiences as part of an interprofessional team of two to four students. A total of 18 experiences were completed involving four standardized patients and 13 faculty members, who remotely observed the encounters and provided feedback.

Shared decision making and effective interpersonal communication between SLP and D.P.T. students were also emphasized. Read the full article...
