Interprofessional Student Spotlights
“I find interacting with other perspectives incredibly rewarding. I think getting more perspectives helps me get out of thought ruts and also helps me do a better job of empathizing as well as increases my creativity when interacting with others. Without the experiences I've had, I wouldn't be embracing diversity and disagreement in practice. Interprofessional activities get me thinking, and keep me from falling into patterns that might not be great long term as a practitioner. Every time I get a new opportunity to problem solve with a variety of perspectives I grow a lot as a person. The learning I've experienced will be super helpful when I'm working with patients, and I think continuing to have conversations with people in other professions will enrich my practice, make me better at relating to my patients and others, and support me in embracing collaboration long term to improve patient outcomes.”
