IPE on Dementia introduces to students the importance of interprofessional team approach to deliver holistic care for patients suffering from dementia. Through authentic clinical case analysis, teams are guided about the importance of understanding the interface of various factors in managing patients suffering from dementia.

​

Using the combined pedagogical strengths of team-based and case-based learning, students are trained to be collaborative-practice ready. This is participated in by students from Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Speech & Hearing who are formed into interprofessional teams of 5-7 members. A team of content experts facilitates the implementation of learning activities.
