Workshop Format

Workshop sessions will be 90 minutes long, and offered at 2 timeslots: 10:30am – 12:00pm EDT and 1:00pm – 2:30pm EDT. We welcome facilitators to present the same workshop during both timeslots if available. The majority of our workshop sessions will be held in-person on the CUIMC Campus; however, presenting virtually is an option. Each workshop will be attended by ~30 interdisciplinary students.

Academic Workshop Content

Academic workshops will be centered around a health-related case, concept, or topic. The focus of these workshops could be clinical, social, economic, political, or cultural as long as it pertains to health and includes varied professional perspectives. 

Submission components:

  •  Title of workshop
  • Presenting team information (names, credentials, affiliations, email addresses)
  • Format choice: in-person or virtual
  • Timeslot choice: 10:30am – 12:00pm EDT and/or 1:00pm – 2:30pm EDT
  • Workshop description (300 words max):

  • Workshop summary (50-100 words that will be used for registration purposes)

Creative Workshop Content

Along with our more academic focused workshops, we aim to provide innovative, activity-based workshops that allow students to reflect on their professional development and consider how these creative modalities and skills can be useful in their future practice working with healthcare teams and patients/populations. We are looking for imaginative workshop sessions that could include (but are not limited to): knitting, gardening, cooking, nature walks, excursions, painting, creative writing, journaling, mindfulness, yoga, dance therapy, music therapy, poetry, film, improv, etc.

Additional Content Considerations for IPE Day Workshops

  • Consider mapping out learner outcomes and active-learning strategies to achieve your outcomes.
  • Try to draw connections between your topic area and the varied professional perspectives and roles that will be represented. These workshops should provide an opportunity for interprofessional communication and team building.
  • Sessions should have an emphasis on practical applications or strategies and incorporate actionable take-aways
