Welcome to the Clinic Day, Interprofessional Education Workshop

You will be working in interprofessional teams of 6-8 students, following up on Andy.  Andy is a resident of Calgary, who was impacted by Covid-19.

Thanks for taking the time to consider some of Andy's concerns - this will give you some time to think about the many options available, and what resources that may be accessed.  You will get way more out of your live team session, especially if all team members take the time to provide their thoughts and input. 

This case is designed to be reviewed ahead of your Clinic Day Interprofessional Education (IPE) session where you will work in a small group with students from various disciplines.

We have chosen a case with concurrent social and medical issues that require a collaborative interprofessional approach to optimize patient care. For this case your management choices will not be determined as much by finding a definitive diagnosis and subject expertise does not lie with any particular discipline.  The goal is to have you explore the overlap in the the knowledge and skills of all the professions involved in order to help the patient.

Work with your health care team to develop an approach to your patient so he can return to a functional state
