Care Coordination

This integrated course is designed to provide nursing and social work students with a common set of core competencies for inter- and intra- professional care coordination. Students from both disciplines will be organized into ‘interprofessional-teams’ that will be expected to bring their experiences originating from their clinical practicum to foster collaboration through joint assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of health care circumstances. Student teams will share responsibility for completing assignments and in-class presentations during the semester. A major focus of course will be the evolving impact of societal, economic and legislative factors contributing to differential access to adequate health care.
