Interprofessional Education, Substance Use Disorders, and a Framework for Patient-Centered Care
Webinar Details
This webinar examines the unique merits of interprofessional education (IPE) and the role of IPE events to prepare healthcare students to provide evidence-based, patient-centered care for substance use disorders. IPE events provide a distinct learning opportunity for students to practice coordinated care and effective communication while expanding their knowledge of complex healthcare needs, like treating opioid use disorders. The speakers will describe the National Academy of Medicine’s 3Cs Framework for Pain and Unhealthy Substance Use and its implementation in an IPE event for students from schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy and public health. Faculty volunteers from the respective schools have diverse practice backgrounds and educational needs to prepare them to effectively facilitate these events. A learning assessment tool based on the 3Cs Framework is a comprehensive and practical approach to determine priority content for faculty curriculum development.
Outcomes:
- Examine the role of Interprofessional Education events for developing substance use disorder core competencies
- Identify gaps in care for people seeking medications for opioid use disorder
- Discuss the 3Cs Framework for Pain and Unhealthy Substance Use
- Discuss strategies to implement the 3Cs Framework for Pain and Unhealthy Substance Use

Speakers

Nicole Mollenkopf, PharmD, MBA, BCPS, BCPPS
Assistant Professor
Director of Interprofessional Education
Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
Nicole Mollenkopf is a nursing educator, pharmacist, and patient safety specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience working in interprofessional health care teams in both the community and acute care settings. She has been educating nursing, pharmacy, and other health professions students for 18 years with the last 8 years as full-time faculty at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing as an assistant professor and Director of Interprofessional Education. In this role, Nicole oversees the interprofessional education (IPE) program which educates thousands of learners each year. Under her leadership, the IPE program scope expanded to include a community-based, health equity focus. We have an IPE experience that leverages teams to mitigate provider and systemic bias in opioid-use disorder care, as well as an interprofessional critical service-learning program that brings interprofessional students together with community partners to foster community-service learning within a social justice framework. Similarly, the IPE program has moved from didactic learning methods to include simulation- and clinically-based interprofessional experiences. Her scholarship involves a variety of funded and unfunded projects assessing outcomes associated with interprofessional education, simulation training, as well as the use of human factors engineering to improve medication safety and team-based care.
