6. BYU Filming project
a. Overview: Brigham Young University has a small grant to create
videos showcasing different health professionals and their interaction
with other professionals. These videos will be used to educate students
in an Interprofessional Education (IPE) course. The first video to be
produced will highlight professionals in Public Health.
b. Background: Fragmented efforts within health systems and between
health workers can compromise health outcomes. A coordinated
approach to health and healthcare starts with educating students on
how to work together with several professions. According to the
World Health Organization: “It is no longer enough for health workers
to be professional. …health workers…need to be interprofessional.”
Interprofessional education (IPE) is an “innovative strategy” in which
“students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with
each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health
outcomes.”
c. The Interprofessional Course: Brigham Young University is
beginning an Interprofessional Education course, that will start in Fall
2014. This course is designed to educate different healthcare
professionals together at the same time. Current educational practices
educate professions in silos (nurses with nurses, public health with
public health, etc.), yet expect graduates to move into the workforce
and work on interprofessional teams. The course at BYU will include
students in the following programs: Master of Public Health, Dietetic
Interns, Nursing, Clinic-Lab Science, Chaplaincy for Healthcare, and
Pre-professionals (e.g. pre-med, pre-dental, etc.). The course will
cover a wide array of topics including: an introduction to different
professions and what they do, teamwork, dealing with conflict,
communications, etc.
d. The Video Project/Grant: As part of the course, videos will be
created to showcase “real-life” professions (what they do, where they
work, etc.) and show these professionals working with other
professional. A small grant has been awarded to create these videos.
The first video will focus on public health professionals. As future
funding is available other videos will be created for nursing,
dietetics/nutritionists, clinical lab science, and hopefully more.
e. What We Need. We are looking for interprofessional groups who are
willing to be filmed as they meet and work together. Filming releases
will be provided.
