Teaching for Transformation Co-Facilitation Certificate

Learn to co-facilitate an interprofessional foundational activity about partnership with Patients/Family/Caregivers in partnership with Patients/Family/Caregivers.

The Centre for Advancing Collaborative Healthcare and Education (CACHE) coordinates an annual interprofessional foundational learning activity for over 1,000 University of Toronto pre-licensure health and social care students that aims to convey the meaning and importance of partnering with patients/families/caregivers in care. Students engage in small groups with a Readers Theatre script derived from interviews conducted with patients, family members, caregivers and healthcare providers about their perspectives on forming partnerships in the health and social care context. The script reveals some of the impacts of power differences between health and social care users and providers, and it introduces some of the ways that minoritized patients/families/caregivers experience additional challenges navigating the health and social care systems. New this year, the activity will be co-facilitated by pairs of clinical faculty and patient/family/caregiver partners, thus creating multiple opportunities for students to explore the concept of partnership — in the script, in their discussions, and as it unfolds in the room.
