Rules of engagement for interprofessional sessions
- Be present – the health professional programs have overcome a lot of logistical challenges to bring students from different disciplines together, students should be present during this precious time together.
- Be curious – of each other as individuals and disciplines. Students should be open; strive to learn with, from and about each other; and not assume they know about other disciplines.
- Be respectful – this is different to a uni-disciplinary experience where students know each other. Students should be respectful of differences and approaches.
- Self-facilitate - small groups should help ensure all voices are heard and that no one individual dominates.
- Be understanding – remember that this workshop was originally designed for in-person teaching, and was adapted for online teaching in a short period of time. Technology offers many advantages but also occasional setbacks. Everything may take a little longer, especially in the beginning.
