As part of this project, a cohort of faculty from different disciplines will be trained on interprofessional education methods related to collaborative care for patients with multiple chronic conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, and behavioral health issues, such as depression. These faculty members will educate teams of students to provide this type of care to patients who live in rural or medically underserved areas. The program will provide simulation-based and classroom experiences to 380 masterâs and doctoral students in WSUâs nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and nutrition and exercise physiology programs and EWUâs social work program. Student teams will also practice their skills in clinical settings, including Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic locations throughout the state.
