Inter-professional Education (IPE) in
CU CHAMPION
Workshop
The compulsory student volunteers workshop consists of Lectures, Case Discussion, and Equipment Training.
Lectures
The lectures aim to equip students with fundamental knowledge of geriatric care, medication safety, interview skills, and disease prevention. Speakers include healthcare professionals and teachers from social work and different health disciplines.
Case Discussion
Students are allocated in groups with peers of other disciplines to discuss and present solutions of assigned case scenarios about patients who are facing health, drugs, and social problems.
Equipment Training
It’s purpose is to give student volunteers a better understanding of the equipment they will be using to conduct basic health check-up for service participants in outreach services.
E-Learning
In order to provide a cohesive learning among students of different disciplines, teachers of each discipline prepare voiceover lecture slides, videos, animations, and readings on a tailored e-learning platform to support students’ self-learning. In addition, there are quizzes and self assessment to evaluate students' learning outcomes.

Outreach Services
Students work together in community outreach services to deliver health and medication safety education.
Through interviewing and providing health screening for service subjects, students can get to know about the real-life situation of patients in the community. On the other hand, students can also shadow the healthcare professionals to learn how to communicate and consult service participants.
