Developing an interprofessional education programme for a health science faculty in South Africa: A multi-method study

Interprofessional education interventions in undergraduate students of musculoskeletal healthcare professions: a scoping review protocol

“…[16][17][18][19] It stands to reason then that interprofessional collaboration between students of MSK-specific professions has the potential to optimise the response of quality patient-centred care to the MSK burden with minimised use of limited resources in developing countries, establishing the rationale for this scoping review. Some South African higher education institutions, with health science faculties, have incorporated IPE initiatives 20 ; however, there still largely exists challenges in successfully incorporating formalised IPE training into health sciences curricula rendering IPE rather lacking in curriculum in health science faculties, with even a greater absence in MSK curricular, across South African Higher Education Institutions. This absence of IPE practices in South African health science curricula, paired with the recommended need for further investigation into the associated challenges of IPE programme implementation and evaluation in universities of specifically developing countries, 21 necessitates an investigation with a focus on MSK IPE interventions to potentially ease the MSK burden documented in South Africa.…”

The Curriculum Ideologies Underlying the AfriMEDS Curriculum Framework for Undergraduate Medical and Dental Education in South Africa

“…Traditional lecture-based teaching is replaced with student-centered and work-based learning, including early clinical exposure [33]. Interprofessional education that promotes a holistic understanding of patient care has been adopted [34]. Furthermore, there has been an effort to incorporate ethical and humanistic components into medical training, including medical humanities, health systems science, medical ethics, patient rights, communication skills, and the social determinants of health [35].…”

Capacity Building for Maternal Emergency Services Using Low Tech High Fidelity (LTHF) Simulator Method and Interprofessional Collaboration for Health Workers on Bawean Island

“…Maternal emergencies require a rapid and appropriate response to minimize the risk of complications that could endanger the lives of mothers and babies. In this context, the Low Tech High Fidelity (LTHF) simulator method and interprofessional collaboration play a key role in strengthening healthcare team skills and cooperation (Delawala, 2020;Nodari et al, 2021). The LTHF simulator is a simulation approach that uses simple equipment but still provides an immersive learning experience.…”
