Name
Interprofessional Patient Mentor Home Visits: Evaluating a Team-Based IPE Model to Advance Patient-Centered Care.
Description

This session presents evaluation findings from the Vanderbilt Interprofessional Health Education Collaborative’s (VIPHEC) Patient Mentor Home Visit. Interprofessional student teams from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, counseling, and marriage and family therapy conducted structured home visits with patient mentors to better understand the lived experience and social drivers of health. Using pre- and post-visit survey data, we assessed changes in student perceptions of teamwork, communication, and professional roles, alongside patient mentor perspectives. Attendees will learn how to implement and evaluate a similar interprofessional, community-based educational model.
