Interprofessional Collaboration Opportunity

Interprofessional Collaboration Opportunity!
Hello! My name is Rebecca Butler, and I am a second-year MS-SLP student at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. I’m passionate about interprofessional collaboration and I would love your help to advocate for it. In Boston, we have the amazing opportunity of learning alongside students in so many professions, but we don’t always get to cross-communicate with each other about what we’re learning while we’re learning it. This means that we often first encounter each other in the hospital with either preconceived ideas about what different specialties do or no idea at all. Together with students from schools including Harvard, the MGH Institute of Health Professions, Tufts, Boston College, MCPHS, MassBay, and rehabilitation therapy programs at Boston University, (and hopefully you as well!), we would like to change that. We want to host an informal peer-to-peer collaborative event to help healthcare students across schools in Boston better understand what it is we each study all day. This would give us the space to share insights on our field of study, build relationships with one another, and discuss how we can best serve our patients. If you want to help advocate for building a more collaborative healthcare culture (or if you just want to learn more), please reach out to me at rbutler1@mghihp.edu. We would love to have you!
