Participant feedback
“…the opportunity to perform the swallow screening with nursing students rather than read about how to administer it was an invaluable learning experience for me. I now have the confidence to work with nurses in a collaborative team in patient care. Before this training, I presumed that nurses and SLPs have their own separate objectives; nursing is in one category, and SLP in another. After this training it is clear that our roles and responsibilities overlap in patient care. Both fields benefit greatly from the sharing of expertise and interprofessional communication; moreover, it is our patient who will benefit the most…”
“…The IPE [event] was a meaningful introduction to the team approach of todays' medical care setting. Seeing other team members as peers is important not only for communication between the team members but also for the well-being of our patients in the future…”
“The IPE training was a wonderful opportunity to expand on my knowledge of dysphasia. Collaborating with nursing students was a great way to put into practice what I have learned in class. It is crucial that all departments within Health and Human Services participate in training such as this, as there is much overlap in patient care. It is also vital that we recognize our individual roles so that we can provide the most comprehensive patient care…”
