Investigation of scenarios for healthcare education by multidisciplinary faculty / 医学教育

  In scenarios developed by a multidisciplinary faculty for interprofessional education, practical problems that emerged included: “medical incident” and “shortage of medical resources” from the perspective of patient and families,” and “information sharing,” “evaluation and feedback,” and “insufficient feeling of accomplishment” from the perspective of health-care professionals. Discussions identified “interprofessional collaboration,” “mutual understanding for professionalism,” and “embodiment of professional culture” as key words for problem solving. Finally, scenarios were developed in the hospital, home-care, nursing, or community care settings that referred to 2 themes, “end of life” and “dementia.” Pilot case studies performed with health care professionals demonstrated the utility of the scenarios and the effectiveness of interprofessional education.
