Monday Sessions

Learners begin in a large group for a didactic session to prepare them for small group activities. Each small group consists of a variety of disciplines, each providing their unique perspective during each session’s active learning piece.

Session 1 (in person with virtual option for remote learners/campuses) focuses on professional roles and responsibilities. Learners will participate in a speed-networking activities to get to know one another and learn about each of the disciplines participating in the activities.

Session 2 (virtual) focuses on values and ethics. Learners meet a patient named "Myles" through a controversial patient case involving Abilify Mycite. This is an interactive session like a "choose-your-own-adventure" game. Learners watch a series of videos and phone calls to navigate through a patient case in a virtual environment. Throughout the session, participants discuss the various steps in the decision-making process.

Session 3 (virtual) focuses on teams and teamwork. Learners navigate through a virtual patient room filled with mistakes and patient safety hazards using SeekBeak technology. Participants first identify as many mistakes and hazards as they can as an individual and then work together as a team.

Session 4 (virtual) focuses on communication. After hearing a real-life story from a physician who lost everything due to substance use disorder, learners break into small groups to watch a short video that demonstrates both positive and negative interactions with a substance use patient with various healthcare workers. Discussion follows with the facilitator, focusing on appropriate communication and avoiding the use of stigmatizing language.
