Peek on the 3rd Indonesian Health Professional Students’ Session The 3rd Indonesian Health Professional Students’ Session was part of the 3rd Health Professional Education Quality (HPEQ) Conference, which was held in Jakarta, 7-8 November 2012. The conference was powered by the HPEQ Project, Ministry of Education and Culture, Republic of Indonesia, and has been held annually since 2010. As they did in the previous years, this time the committee also gave an opportunity for the Indonesian health professional student network (HPEQ Student) to hold their own parallel sessions. This year’s sessions focused mainly on sharing what have been done by the HPEQ Student to improve student advocacy and interprofessional education and collaboration. On the first day, the HPEQ Student launched their latest publication entitled “What Do the Students Say?”, which showed the result of the national study on IPE and student participation in education governance. Then there was also the launching of the first-time-ever Indonesian health professional students’ journal, which is now accessible online from www.bimkes.org. And in the evening, the participants were divided into small working groups to discuss several topics, including IPE, students’ participation in accreditation, and the utilization of media for advocacy. What is interesting from the session was, for the first time, HPEQ Student held their own interprofessional health care team challenge. Inspired by the good practice done at the All Together Better Health VI Conference in Kobe, Japan, HPEQ Student developed a clinical case picturing a post-partum mother having a cranial injury from falling at a disaster evacuation camp. Twenty participants from medicine, nursing, dentistry, midwifery, pharmacy, public health, and nutrition were divided into four groups to create a case management plan for the patient. All of the participating students were so enthusiastic, and consider the session really effective to explain the benefit of IPE and IPC. “By practicing out, we can really feel and experience what interprofessional collaboration is like, not just knowing the theory of its benefits,” said one of the participants. Students from different health professions discussing the clinical case at the first HPEQ Student healthcare team challenge The next day, to practice the advocacy skills they got from the lectures on the previous day, students arranged a face-to-face meeting session with stakeholders from each profession, discussing and conveying their messages about health professional education issues. This was also the first time it was held, and considering that it gained positive response from the stakeholders as well as the students, such session might be routinely held.
