WILD Series™ Preceptor Development Offerings

Participants build interprofessional skills as a preceptor and health professional through 5 actionable weekly emails and a 1-hour group debriefing session. Each weekly email offers an engaging 3-5 minute video, instructions to observe, engage, and model concepts in practice, key reflective prompts, and ways to learn more.

Become a Guest Health Professional for Better Together: Preparing for Collaborative Practice
In fall 2024, 1Health is offering Better Together; a two-part interprofessional learning experience that will introduce health professional students to foundational concepts of interprofessional education and collaboration. The purpose of the event is to bring together over 1,300 students from 19 health professional programs to introduce them to the principles of working collaboratively.
We are actively recruiting practicing health professionals to facilitate interactive discussions with these students during the fall 2024 Better Together sessions. Your role would be to share your valuable professional perspective and experience with collaborative practice with two small groups of students in a live Zoom session. We look forward to your participation in this rich, interprofessional learning experience! Learn more and sign up!

U of M IPE Curriculum
Our 1Health interprofessional education (IPE) curriculum is intentionally designed to provide students with relevant content and experiences aligned with progression through their respective professional program.
We prepare our health professions learners across 3 phases:
- Phase 1-Orientation to IPE
- Phase 2- Necessary Skills

Collaboration in Action

- Finding your WHY in collaborative practice; Patient values in care
- Observe & reflect on teamwork in action using a standardized tool
