The introduction of IPE in small schools〜What ICT has made possible〜

Abstract

At Koshien University, we decided to hold a trial lesson with Takarazuka City School of Nursing, for the full-scale introduction of Interprofessional education (IPE) . However, due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, IPE was carried out in a slightly irregular manner, i.e. online rather than face-to-face. Utilization of ICT, such as pre-learning using YouTube, exchange meetings using Zoom, and post-questionnaire using Google Forms, made it possible to study without restrictions on location and time. In the future, based on these experiences, we plan to develop a curriculum for IPE.
