Interprofessional collaboration

December 7, 2022

This past November, Waters College of Health Professions (WCHP) faculty lead an hour-long workshop on how health professions faculty at Georgia Southern University developed and implemented interprofessional learning activities through the years at the International Society for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning conference in Kelowna, Canada.

Shaunell McGee, MHA, Debra Hagerty, DNP, Yvonne Dillon, M.Ed., and Janet Buelow, Ph.D., discussed their interprofessional work in various community settings and simulations conducted in WCHP labs.

“Our work was well-received with universities in the United Kingdom, and they are interested in having their students join in on our next virtual case discussion or ground rounds,” stated Buelow.  

Faculty involved in offering Georgia Southern students with diverse competency-based interprofessional learning opportunities in their courses include the following:

  • Debra Hagerty, DNP, School of Nursing
  • Janet Buelow, Ph.D., Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology
  • Shaunell McGee, MHA, Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements.  Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
