Abstract
This work seeks to disseminate the results of a series of interprofessional education (IPE) events focused around the team sport of spikeball held at the University of New Mexico Health Science Center. Physical therapy student-learners organized and implemented a bimonthly event over the course of two scholastic semesters to bring together other graduate learners from various health profession programs including medicine, nursing, emergency medical technician, dental hygienists, and others. The events offered an opportunity for peer-to-peer education among the various student-learners in an informal environment. The peer-to-peer format of the event is novel and significant, demonstrating a method to promote IPE without the need for formal instruction. Three events were hosted with approximately 8 health science disciplines and 25 students in attendance at each event. This work will detail the event planning process, challenges, and opportunities this interactive method of IPE provided.
