As a one-semester capstone project, the Interprofessional Practice Learning (IPL) Dementia Caregiving Badge is a telehealth community placement in which interprofessional (IP) teams of 3-5 students work collaboratively with dementia care specialists (DCS), caregivers of people living with dementia (care partners), and facilitators to develop a customized Caregiver Health and Wellness Resource Packet.
At the end of the course, students will be provided with the IPL Dementia Caregiving Badge as a Certificate of Completion, and this badge will count towards UW IPE Path of Distinction.
The main purpose of this IPE Telehealth placement is to help students to improve their interprofessional competencies, including: interprofessional communication, teamwork, collaboration, roles and responsibilities, and client-centeredness in order to engage in interprofessional care of caregivers of people living with dementia.
IP Student teams are required to complete 12 hours of virtual placement over three months from February to April 2023. During this 12-hour virtual placement, the student teams are required to complete the Pre-Work, participate in the required meeting sessions (the Orientation Session, the two Virtual Home Visits, the Meeting with ADRC, and a Debrief Session), and develop and submit a customized Caregiver Health and Wellness Resource Packet as their Capstone Project. For student convenience, UW CIPE will pre-schedule all the meetings and events in advance (as per everyone’s availability).
