Virtual Interprofessional Education Academy
Virtual Interprofessional Education (VIPE) is a learning approach that brings together professionals from different disciplines in a virtual environment to collaborate, communicate, and solve problems as a team. It focuses on using online environments for developing skills for interprofessional collaboration, teamwork, and preparing participants for real-world, multidisciplinary practice.
About the Virtual IPE Academy
Strengthening healthcare education through inclusive and innovative virtual interprofessional learning across Europe.
Objectives
The project aims to empower educators of healthcare students with the skills and resources needed to effectively facilitate virtual interprofessional education (IPE), fostering collaboration across professional and geographical boundaries. The Virtual IPE Academy project will create inclusive interprofessional environments across Europe that provide accessible and equitable training opportunities for students that would otherwise not be available to them.
Implementation
The project will adopt a comprehensive and inclusive approach, beginning with the development of resource toolkit accompanied by four virtual IPE sessions for students across the EU and beyond. It will implement a multifaceted approach to enhance and build a community of educators who are highly skilled in training via virtual IPE. Case studies and scenario based learning activities will reflect real-world challenges, promoting diversity-sensitive practices in virtual IPE facilitation.
Results
The project will generate a suite of impactful results. A toolkit including an instructor manual and a strong facilitator network will build the foundation of the results to build educators’ capacity to run inclusive and accessible virtual IPE events. The consortium with the support of the VIPE community will run 4 virtual IPE events, alongside dedicated facilitator training, with the ultimate outcome of a global network of well-prepared educators who can drive effective online IPE collaboration.
