Health Care Team Challenge™

On Friday, June 14, two of the breakout sessions (G1, H1) will feature The National Health Care Team Challenge™ (HCTC). This is an interprofessional student team event that promotes teamwork and collaboration amongst students across Canada.

Health care students must be equipped to work in teams collaboratively if they are to provide their patient/clients with what they expect; the best possible care. The National Health Care Team Challenge™ is an interprofessional education activity that promotes teamwork and collaboration amongst students. The design provides students with the opportunity to ‘walk the talk’ because as we all know that practice makes perfect. This competition helps facilitate the development of student leaders in IPE by giving them the opportunity to gain exposure and immersion to a variety of core values and competencies like: communication and reflection skills, while developing a mutual respect, openness to trust, and willingness to collaborate with others. In the Health Care Team Challenge™ each student team is provided with the same case to work on, with the goal of developing a collaborative inter-professional patient/client-centered plan of management. On the day of the event, student teams present their plans to an audience of clinicians, academics, community members and students. Teams are judged on both the quality of the management plan and level of team collaboration. The winning team receives an award.

• As of now, a total of 8 student teams will be invited to compete in the Challenge™.
