About This Course
Despite the challenges for implementation, the respiratory therapy community should view IPC as an opportunity. Interprofessional Education allows the respiratory therapy program to showcase the skills and contributions of the RT to the interprofessional health care team. IPC also allows the RT student or professional to appreciate and contribute to the interconnectedness of the therapies and care plans that optimize patient-centered care. IPC allows a patient problem or situation to be examined from a variety of perspectives, and this diversity of thought benefits comprehensive patient care. This presentation will describe the opportunities and strategies for IPC in both educational and clinical settings.
