IPE eLearning Resources: The Maria Garcia Series

Designed around the IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaboration and Practice (2011, 2016), the ITEACH e-learning modules review core concepts relating to communicating with patients, families, communities, and other health care providers in a responsible manner that supports a patient-centered, team-based approach to the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease.

The modules use exercises and an unfolding patient case study shown in a series of short video clips to illustrate the effects of teamwork and communication on health care providers, patients, and their support networks. Through these video cases, learners can reflect on how interprofessional teamwork and collaboration is used to promote quality, patient-centered care.

Each module contains 6-10 minutes of video, interactive quiz questions and learning activities, and feedback focused on a core competency area.
