Abstract
Context: The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) 2020 Standards for Professional Programs highlight the need to further incorporate interprofessional education (IPE) components into the curricula for athletic training programs. IPE can be a challenging component to integrate into the curriculum on an ongoing and routine basis, especially when access, quantity, and quality of IPE resources are limited at individual universities. Description: Athletic training students (ATS) from three professional athletic training programs were paired with one ATS from another institution to research a non-orthopedic, general medical condition. They were assigned a three-part project: (1) review the existing literature for peer-reviewed articles on their assigned pathology, (2) interview a non-athletic trainer healthcare provider who has worked with the pathology, and (3) create an education infographic of the information to use as an educational tool for patients. The project helped to promote collaborative and team-based skills critical to interprofessional and intraprofessional success as a healthcare provider.
Advantages: Students learned with, from, and about how non-athletic trainer healthcare professionals manage their assigned non-orthopedic, general medical pathologies in clinical practice.
Conclusions: This collaborative project allowed athletic training students to develop intraprofessional and interprofessional skills by working with both athletic training students and non-athletic training healthcare professionals. Informative feedback on how the students perceived their interactions was received at the conclusion of the assignments.
