HMF FAFM Podcast: Strengthening Collaboration for Interprofessional Primary Care
Description
Listen to the podcast by Rachelle Ashcroft, PhD, Associate Professor in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, and cross-appointed to the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto, speak about a collaborative process she and her team enhance team-based primary care, drawing on experiences of six disciplines working together to create new curricula as part of Team Primary Care.
They assert that building capacity requires an understanding of unique disciplinary roles and elements of primary care and establishing primary care competencies would provide a common set of skills, knowledge, values and attitudes to form a foundation on which to build the capacity of the interprofessional primary care workforce.
This session is moderated by Catherine Donnelly, PhD, an Associate Professor in Rehabilitation Therapy at Queen's University. Catherine's work is focused on team-based primary care with an emphasis on understanding how interprofessional primary care teams can support older adults and individuals with chronic conditions to live in their neighbourhoods and communities.
