Description

This course supports students to develop collaborative team-based skills to practice effective spiritual care in healthcare and other settings. It enables students to build interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and relationships to work in the complex dynamics of multi-service healthcare contexts. The course is strongly recommended for students seeking to serve in health care contexts. Learning modules are taken from the Centre for Advancing Collaborative Healthcare & Education (CACHE) program of Interprofessional Education (ipe.utoronto.ca/u-t-ipe-curriculum) alongside students in medicine, nursing, social work, occupational therapy, etc. Each required module is offered remotely (with some in-person options) ranging from 1.5 to 3 hours each. Elective modules provide many options for students to choose from that vary in length and weight. Required and elective modules enable excellent opportunities for building competency in client-focussed interprofessional collaborative care.
