Abstract:
National and international organizations are increasingly focused on interprofessional education in health-related fields to address complex and emerging health issues. One public health concern is the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). At one public university in Appalachia, faculty of nursing, public health, and social work collaborated to develop an interprofessional course at the undergraduate and graduate levels that focus on ACEs, trauma, and resiliency literature as well as interprofessional collaboration and evidence-based prevention and treatment. In this paper, the faculty detail the approach undertaken to develop this interprofessional course, lessons learnt and key resources.
