A Template for Implementing Interprofessional Education in Child Advocacy
While there is an urgency to offer graduate students’ inter-professional education (IPE) in child advocacy, there are no templates for educators to utilize. Participants (n=34), inclusive of students, community stakeholders, and faculty from a northeastern university, participated in focus groups to describe what IPE should entail. Grounded theory was used to distill the data, which revealed themes about what participants would value from an IPE …

As Wright acknowledges, there are a number of challenges to w…

It discusses how clinicians dealt with questions of dosing and side effects and the impact of the sulfonamides on two diagnoses in children: meningococcal meningitis and pneumonia. The care of infants and children with infectious diseases made demands on physicians and nurses that differed from those facing clinicia…
