An Interprofessional Approach for Health Care Students to Address and Understand the Opioid Epidemic

Abstract

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Students representing seven health professions (N = 347) were invited to attend a 2-hour interprofessional workshop and complete surveys examining perceptions of interprofessional teamwork and understanding of discipline-specific roles while addressing the opioid crisis. Significant improvements were found that can help guide curriculum development and future research initiatives for health professions students.
