Competition emphasizes importance of interprofessional experiences


MUSC and Creating Collaborative Care’s fourth annual Clarion (Clinician Administrator Relationship Improvement Organization) Interprofessional Case Competition brought students together to delve into a case study of a sentinel event to find root cause analysis and provide recommendations.
 
The objective of Clarion is to broaden the educational experience of health care students through interprofessional interaction as well as raise awareness of each profession to increase patient health outcomes.
 
Students from Phi Lambda Sigma Pharmacy Leadership Society and the MUSC Student Government Association planned the competition. The Student Government Association also funded the reception that took place after the event.
 
Four teams were under the spotlight at the finalists’ competition March 3. The finalist judges were Oscar Lovelace, M.D., Maralynne Mitcham, Ph.D., and Valerie West, Ed.D.
 
The team that placed first will travel to the University of Minnesota to compete at the National Clarion Competition April 10. The first place prize is $5,000.

The first place team winners are Katie Herbert, second from left, Brianna Morabito, third from left, Cynthia Hudson, center, Amanda Cooper, second from right, and Brett Hoffecker, right.
