Abstract
Has your team always wanted to put together an interprofessional emergency room simulation? This presentation will illustrate the nuts and bolts of designing an evidence- and research-based simulation activity for global health professions students. An interprofessional faculty team first implemented the simulation in 2013 as a response to the Institute of Medicine's call for interprofessional collaboration in healthcare professions (Greiner & Knebel, 2003). A salient reason for incorporating interprofessional learning opportunities into curricula is the growing demand for health professions students to enter the workforce prepared to work in teams and provide safe, quality patient care (Interprofessional Education Collaborative, 2011). A simulation center was transformed to represent "a day in the life" of a healthcare professional working in an emergency room. Twenty-four evidence-based scenarios ranging from otitis media to myocardial infarction were designed for health professions students to work as a member of a collaborative team in the care of their patients. During this presentation participants will learn how to plan, develop, debrief, and evaluate a sustainable interprofessional simulation.

Blueprint for interprofessional simulation: A day in the life of healthcare professionals working in an emergency room
