Fall 2016 Interprofessional Geriatric Case Competition Winners Announced
The Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gateway Workforce Enhancement Program concluded the second annual Interprofessional Geriatric Case Competition on Thursday, Nov. 3. There were 12 teams from four universities: 91女神, Washington University in St. Louis, Maryville University and the Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health in St. Louis.
The professions represented by the students included clinical psychology, dentistry,
medical family therapy, medicine, nursing, nutrition and dietetics, physical therapy,
social work and speech/language pathology.
The competition was divided into three groups of four teams. The students collaborated
with three to five health professions students and a faculty mentor on a geriatric-based
case, which focused on creation of a discharge care plan for an older patient with
multiple, chronic health challenges. The students then created and offered an innovative
20-minute electronic case presentation.
Coaches and judges for each group included faculty from physical therapy, nursing,
nutrition and dietetics, social work, medicine, psychology and pharmacy.
The students enjoyed the experience and said they would recommend the competition
to others. The interprofessional aspect was a highlight for everyone involved.
In the evaluations completed after the event one student wrote, 鈥淚t was interesting
starting out because we all had different ideas on the patient, but as time progressed,
we saw that all of our goals were the same. We just had different routes to get to
the solution.鈥� And from another, 鈥淚 also appreciated working with students from another
university.鈥�
