Presentations

On August 30th, 2018 Assistant Vice President for Interprofessional Education, Patricia J. Ohtake, PT, PhD, was a featured panelist for the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Webinar An IPE Approach to the Opioid Epidemic. This webinar highlighted current interprofessional education approaches to prevention of this serious public health crisis and strategies for the management of the opioid epidemic at both the patient and population levels. Dr. Ohtake and fellow panelist, Wendy E. Braund, MD, MPH, MSEd, FACPM from the University at Pittsburgh, shared the interprofessional educational initiatives that address the opioid epidemic at their respective institutions, including the instructional design, implementation, and assessment of student outcomes.

Dr. Ohtake described the UB Office of Interprofessional Education’s annual Interprofessional Forum, Confronting Opioid Dependence: An Interprofessional Approach that prepares ~ 800 students from 12 health professions to reduce the opioid epidemic. Using a hybrid learning approach that includes online learning and in-person large and small group sessions, students explore solutions through patient case discussions and public health approaches for prevention and intervention.
