Description
Elaine Jurkowski presents a conference abstract on teaching health professionals to work across their disciplines, using older adults' care as the arena. Medicine, nursing, social work, and allied fields train in silos yet must jointly tackle the social conditions that shape health. Three strategies were tried in a rural training context.
First, seminars used cases and guide questions to open cross-talk. Second, student teams followed one complex, high-need patient across a school year. Third, a weekly clinic mixed students from five fields in live team-based care. Participants reported surprise at what sister disciplines actually do, learned the community resources around them, and felt their teamwork sharpen. Jurkowski concludes that curricula built deliberately around collaboration and a public-health lens produce professionals who work together better.
