<strong>Abstracts</strong>Leading the way through interprofessional clinical student placements: Improving future carein chronic disease managementNerida CrokerSenior Occupational Therapist, Chronic Disease Management Team, Public <strong>Health</strong> & Ambulatory Care, NorthMetropolitan Area <strong>Health</strong> Service, WA <strong>Health</strong>Nerida.Croker@health.wa.gov.auThis presentation outlines new initiatives showcasing how the Chronic Disease Management Team hascollaborated with <strong>Curtin</strong> University to establish clinical placements where students have the opportunity toobserve <strong>and</strong> develop universal skills in chronic disease management through participating in interprofessionallearning opportunities.Students learn to identify common themes <strong>and</strong> clinical issues for people living with chronic conditions, <strong>and</strong> howto refer appropriately to various health professionals involved in their management. The placements focus on adifferent range of learning outcomes than traditional uni-disciplinary placements, including:Increased knowledge of the scope of practice of a range of health professions in managing chronic diseaseDevelopment of case management role awareness <strong>and</strong> skillsIncreased awareness of communication <strong>and</strong> teamwork between health professionsConceptual learning <strong>and</strong> integration of new information into discipline specific clinical practicereflection on values, beliefs <strong>and</strong> culture of their own <strong>and</strong> other professionsBy preparing students with this knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills, it is hoped that they will graduate as an emerging healthworkforce which is better equipped to meet the needs of an aging population <strong>and</strong> increase in chronic conditions,particularly in areas of unmet need <strong>and</strong> where workforce shortages affect care options, such as in rural areas.As this new initiative has the potential to be implemented across a range of settings, it therefore has thepotential to increase clinical student placement opportunities as placement is not solely dependent on disciplinespecificsupervision since mentoring can be provided by any member of the interprofessional team.Students Go Global SocietyThuy Tran <strong>and</strong> Amy Rushton<strong>Curtin</strong> University of Technologythuy.tran@student.curtin.edu.au, amy.rushton@student.curtin.edu.auStudents Go Global (SGG) is an interdisciplinary <strong>Curtin</strong> University Guild society aiming to enhance quality <strong>and</strong>meet the Go Global vision of sustainability.
