Many times, health professionals and other faculty and staff learn to teach and facilitate “on the fly” without any formal training. During this 2-hour faculty development workshop, participants will have the opportunity to examine and enhance their interprofessional facilitation skills. After reviewing theories of facilitation and interprofessional education, we will assess our own implicit biases and discuss methods for overcoming them. We will practice facilitation skills to teach learners of diverse disciplines and education levels in multiple settings (classroom, simulation, clinical). Finally, we will give and receive feedback on facilitation skills during debriefings of the role plays. Please join us and engage in activities to take your IPE facilitation knowledge and skills to the next level.

-
From Good to Great: Developing and Debriefing Your Interprofessional Debriefing Skills

- Identify three processes of debriefing across different debriefing models
- Examine how your biases influence your interprofessional debriefing skills
- Employ two debriefing techniques during a simulated debriefing

Experiential learning requires reflection and intentional discussion in the form of facilitated debriefing in order to promote learning outcomes and enhance team-based performance. Indeed, debriefing is widely considered in extant literature to be the key element to process and synthesize experiential learning, making skill acquisition and practice critical for facilitators. Yet, formal training and opportunities to apply, practice, and assess debriefing skills can be rare. This workshop will focus on defining and developing the skills necessary for practitioners and faculty to debrief both educational and clinical activities to achieve interprofessional learning and clinical objectives. Session topics will include models and phases of the debriefing process, the role of the facilitator in debriefing, and evidence-based methods for effectively debriefing interprofessional learners. Participants will have the opportunity to enact and then debrief their own debriefings and to give and receive feedback to enrich collective learning.

Studies consistently emphasize the importance of creating more inclusive and brave educational spaces, including normalizing racial and social justice conversations. Yet, conversations about systemic injustice can be difficult to start and navigate, particularly when instructors and facilitators are viewed by learners as “authority” figures in the classroom. This session will focus on strategies for educators to identify opportunities to name and lead a discussion around issues of systemic injustice during interprofessional activities, thereby creating more inclusive learning environments, enhancing pedagogical practice, and increasing faculty confidence in addressing issues of racial and social injustice in the classroom. Session topics will include specific models and approaches to facilitating discussions on racial and social injustice, the role of the facilitator in shaping inclusive learning environments and supporting brave conversations, and evidence-based methods for effectively navigating discussions about systemic injustice. Participants will practice applying strategies and consider the application in their respective curricula or clinical setting.
