IntD 410 offers an enriched student experience
IntD 410, Interprofessional Health Team Development, is a transformational course in which students develop four core competencies essential to interprofessional (IP), or collaborative health team practice:communication, collaboration, role clarification and reflection.
IntD 410 students come from programs across six health sciences faculties: nursing; medicine and dentistry; rehabilitation medicine; physical education and recreation; pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences; and agriculture, life and environmental sciences.Students are organized in teams, with representation from each faculty.
Facilitators (experienced practitioners and UofA faculty) guide teams through a variety of strategies designed to help them share their knowledge and skills, and learn as a team. By working to solve challenges through collaborative learning, these students are preparing to work in real-world health care settings in which collaborative practice is the way of the future. As simple as it sounds, these interactions can be daunting. read more...

Report identifies priority issues for front-line workers
In 2012, the Institute for Continuing Care Education and Research (ICCER) conducted a process across Alberta to identify priority themes and issues facing front-line workers in the continuing care sector. In June, ICCER released findings that will help researchers focus on areas of greatest importance to front-line continuing care workers and, where research has already been done, apply research results in practice. Read the full report here. ICCER is supported by the University of Alberta through the Health Sciences Council and housed in the Edmonton Clinic Health Academy Discovery Mall.

You oughtta be in pictures
The Office of Emergency Management, in collaboration with several Alberta post-secondary institutions, is looking for volunteers/extras to be students and staff in a video being shot at Concordia and the U of A. This is an educational video about responding to a serious campus emergency and will feature dramatizations of emergency scenarios.
They will accommodate as many willing participants as possible but ask that people volunteer for the whole day, August 28 or even all three days, August 27, 28 and 29. They need a minimum of 12 people to volunteer.
You could get discovered :)

How many wrongs does it take?
If you google "Edmonton Clinic" you will be shown a photo of, contact and location nformation for the Edmonton Clinic Health Academy (see here). Most information in this listing is correct, but the location is incorrectly identified as the Edmonton Clinic. This means we get daily calls from people looking for the Kaye Edmonton Clinic. We are doing everything we can to try to correct this, including reporting the name (Edmonton Clinic) in the listing as "wrong" as often as possible. Feel free to report the mistake - maybe if enough of us click "wrong" the message will get through.
