While IPE is becoming more common in undergraduate medical education, many graduate medical education (GME) programs currently lack formal curricula. Those GME curricula that involve experiential learning have focused largely on the nursing […]

Utilizing a mobile electronic-health-record-based alert for such a process has the potential to reduce implementation cost and feasibility barriers but has not […]
