Module 7 Discussion
DQ1 Vulnerable Populations and Interprofessional Teams
This week you will have the opportunity to participate in an Inter-professional Educational (IPE) experience. The concept of IPE in educational programs has been a clarion call from the Institute of Medicine as a way to prepare healthcare practitioners to fully engage in collaborative practice roles. You will be learning virtually alongside with students from the Albany College of Pharmacy.
As mentioned in Module 1, in the IPE Discussion Contract, this discussion will take place within Google Groups. At this point, you should have already received, and accepted your invitation to join your assigned Google Group. Please login using this link (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and click on your group name (Group #_) to enter the “IPE Discussion”.

Here are the discussion questions for the week:
Question 1: Explain the impact of poverty on health, from your perspective, in the lives of families with children.
Question 2: Provide examples of social, cultural, political, economic, and/or environmental factors that are observed shaping the lives of the families in the video and would need to be considered as you develop a culturally competent, holistic health promotion plan.

Question 3: How would these families be likely to enter “the system” of care, in other words – meet you and the types of service you would provide? What would the family experience look like?
Question 4: Consider one of the families in the video. What role can your profession [or you] play to ensure this family receives equitable health services, treatment, and access?
