INTER1300 INTERACT3 Interprofessional Cooperation on and with Children and Young People Course description

INTER1300 ‘Interprofessional Cooperation about and with Children, Young People and their Families’ makes up the third module of the university's teaching project INTERACT.

INTER1300 is about acquiring more awareness and knowledge about how you, as a future professional, can cooperate with other professions about and with children, young people and their parents/guardians. The challenges and opportunities such cooperation presents is one of the topics discussed in this module. Examples from the students’ practical training periods will be a key part of this. In this module, the focus will in particular be on children and adolescents with challenges.

The individual study programme incorporates the components in an expedient manner in their existing programme/course descriptions. All documents must clearly mark when in the programme INTER1300 is taken, so that it is identifiable for the parties concerned. The students’ workload for INTER1300, including self-study, is approx. 40 hours (1.5 credits).

The learning activities are carried out in interprofessional student groups.

After completing the INTER1300, the students should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

• explain different interprofessional methods of collaboration in the field of practice

INTER1300 ‘Interprofessional Cooperation about and with Children, Young People and their Families ’ includes two common seminar days, digital learning resources and assignments related to interprofessional group work and self-study.
