Once you register for the collaborative event, you will be placed into a small interprofessional team and will be assigned a team facilitator. Names and contact information for your teammates and facilitator will be sent to you prior to orientation. By the end of the orientation event, your team should have developed a plan as to how you will communicate and function to complete the assigned tasks.

Your end product is an oral presentation, presented via Zoom, which demonstrates your reflection on the life story and care of JT Taylor and his family, and the professionals you would include in an interprofessional team to meet their needs.
You are also asked to provide a short reflective piece in your presentation on your own team's experience of collaboration in action, including what you have learned about the other professions' roles and responsibilities, team working, and communication issues.
Each team will have 20 minutes to present their work. A 5-minute, 3-minute and 1-minute warning will be given to the team. At the conclusion of 20 minutes, the timekeeper will announce time and your team must stop their presentation. No team will be permitted to exceed the allocated 20-minute time limit. If the team completes its presentation prior to the 20-minute time limit, the team should announce that they have completed their presentation. Presentations will be followed by a 10-minute question and answer period with a panel of judges.
Each team member must participate equally in both the oral presentation and the question and answer period immediately following the team presentation.
Teams may invite friends and other students to attend their presentation. By the time of your scheduled rehearsal, please let your facilitator know the names and email addresses of any people you would like to invite. The audience may include other non-participating students, faculty, and interested health professionals. Audience members are requested not to ask questions or use the chat feature during the presentations.
Judges will complete a scoring sheet for each team presentation. An average score will be calculated for each team. Teams will be provided with their team score and feedback after the event.
