On Friday, Oct. 24, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, nursing and interior architecture students worked together to build a healthier community by completing an escape room.<\/p>\n

Dr. Meagan Oslund, assistant professor of practice, interprofessional education and practice coordinator for the ROADMAP grant, partnered with the Walker Center for Teaching and Learning to create the pilot program.<\/p>\n

An occupational therapist by trade, Oslund explained the necessity of collaborating in a work environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came from the hospital setting in the ICU,\u201d she said. \u201cI understand that nursing can\u2019t do it itself. Occupational therapy can\u2019t do it itself. Physical therapy can\u2019t do it itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are all these people who need to learn and work together in the real world, but often on college campuses, we stay siloed. We only work within our major and don\u2019t venture out. But once we get to the real world, we\u2019re expected to know how to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oslund designed the game where students split into teams and were asked to bring their expertise to the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cFaculty from those areas came together and created a clue that was related but more parallel and had to do with something in their profession,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey were given all the clues in an envelope, and we\u2019d lock the door and said, \u2018Figure it out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Brooke Epperson, associate director of the UTC School of Nursing and undergraduate program coordinator, said she was pleased that her students were gaining this experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want them (nursing students) to take away that you have to utilize the strengths of other professions,\u201d Epperson said. \u201cNursing can\u2019t do it all. Physical therapy can\u2019t do it all. Occupational therapy, social work, everybody involved\u2014it takes the whole team to work together and be respectful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are experts in each of those fields. We have to come together and be able to communicate and collaborate to make sure that the patient is being well taken care of and is set up for success.\u201d<\/p>\n

It may not be clear how specific majors or professions can contribute to a problem. Oslund said that gaining knowledge about other areas before entering the workforce gives students an advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the social work students in the back asked such a good question,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was like, \u2018I had no idea that physical therapy\u2014one of the clues that physical therapy was, can you pick something up from a cone while also naming different types of animals.\u2019 The social work student asked the physical therapy faculty member, \u2018Why are we doing this?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cShe goes, \u2018Do you ever just walk? No, we walk and talk. We walk and drink coffee.\u2019 Learning about physical therapy is more than just being able to bend your knee up and down. It\u2019s more\u2014can you do that but also function in your daily life, right? There\u2019s more learning than just the bare minimum about other professions and how you can overlap and work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gavin Watson, a senior interior architecture major from Nashville, explained that planning residential or commercial buildings requires architects to consider long-term health. He used the example of a couple hoping to age in a home and how to accommodate their potential needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery person brings a different value to a team, whether that be in your field or outside of your field,\u201d he said. \u201cEven getting to see the way people who are in the interior architecture program think is slightly different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Epperson recalled leaning on the campus community to produce training videos for nursing students. She described it as \u201ccalling in the experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUTC is a very unique campus regarding collaboration,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a whole, we are very good at reaching out and trying to collaborate, which is\u2014from what I hear when we go to conferences\u2014not the case everywhere. We\u2019re very lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the introduction of the pilot program, Oslund hopes to have more events and expand attendance across all fields of study.<\/p>\n

She hopes students came away understanding the value of working together and the efficiency that follows.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe each have our own unique strengths but can offer so much more to our community if we work together,\u201d Oslund said. \u201cMy goal is to help us bring the resources that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n
