Interprofessional
Fall Fair a Success
On November 4, the
NSU-COM Center for Inter-
professional Education and Practice
coordinated the
inaugural Interprofessional Fall Fair, which focused on inform-
ing students about the roles and responsibilities of the many
professions at NSU that work together as a comprehensive
health care team. The fair featured a showcase of 13 different
professions, including anesthesiologist assistant, audiology, clini-
cal psychology, health law, medical sonography, nursing, oc-
cupational therapy, optometry, osteopathic medicine, physician
assistant, physical therapy, public health, and speech-language
pathology. The information booths were organized and oper-
ated by student representatives from each program.
All booths offered attendees an interactive activity that
encouraged better understanding of the varied professions at
NSU. These activities addressed the roles/responsibilities com-
petency domain of interprofessional collaborative practice.
The specific competencies addressed by participating in this
activity included communicating one’s roles and responsibili-
ties clearly, explaining the roles and responsibilities of other
care providers and how the team works together to provide
care, and communicating with team members to clarify each
member’s responsibility.
