Revolutionizing Nursing Education: Using Interprofessional Teams and Technology

Join us for the Revolutionizing Nursing Education: Using Interprofessional Teams and Technology conference as we examine the changing landscape of higher education including disruptive technologies to transform teaching and learning, the growth of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs), new learning assessment models and the use of learning analytics for student progression and retention.

The health care system will face dramatic changes over the next decade. Interprofessional practice teams and the reliance on health information tools will be integral components of the transformation of health care. To prepare the healthcare workforce of the future, we need to reinvent the education of healthcare professionals.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

Examine emerging trends in technology applications integrated in interprofessional educational practices.
Discuss models for teaching team-based competencies and the use of health information technologies to support health professionals' practice.
Identify strategies for the attainment of IPE competencies through the use of technology.
Describe techniques to integrate various technologies into simulation.
Discuss the evolution of educational delivery models using new technologies to reinvent the education of healthcare professionals.

SANDY M. SWOBODA, RN, MS, FCCM

Simulation is a perfect pedagogy to link what is learned in the classroom to the clinical setting. Simulated learning environments have been used to address learning objectives from many nursing courses, but for successful curricular integration, an overarching framework and delivery plan is required. This workshop is designed to empower simulation faculty with knowledge and tools needed to gain faculty support for full simulation integration. Additionally, learners will explore ways to create novel curricula integration plans and to develop expert simulation delivery teams. Participants are encouraged to bring their questions, innovative ideas, dreams and course and/or program objectives so that during the workshop they can apply newly acquired knowledge to outline their own simulation integration plan.

OBJECTIVES - PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO:

Design a plan to strategically utilize simulations to accomplish course and program objectives.
