Community in Change - A Revitalization Project (#1201)

This simulation was developed in collaboration with Dr. Corinne Hart and Jennifer Paterson of the Interprofessional Education Program, Faculty of Community Services, Toronto Metropolitan University.

Wolcott Creek, a vibrant and diverse community, is slated for revitalization by the City of Toronto. This will entail redevelopment and reconstruction of old buildings while displacing residents, possibly a five to seven year project. Engaging a group of stakeholders is both necessary and challenging.

Note: Currently there are eight simulator roles developed for the IPE simulation. If you request this simulation, you could request a smaller group or a specific role. The number of simulators could range from one to eight.

Learning Objectives

Managing group dynamics in an interprofessional environment
Conflict management
Maintaining a professional demeanour
Collaborative problem-solving

This work should be completed within the year.
