Interprofessional education experiences is now an integral part of accreditation criteria for health professional schools, and as a result, programs have had to implement interprofessional learning opportunities for all students. While strong models exist for didactic interprofessional training, there is a great need for interprofessional practice opportunities for students to apply the skills that they are learning. The practice environment often varies in how collaboration is viewed, and therefore, students may feel there is a gap between the 'ideal' collaborative environment of which they have been taught, and the reality of the practice setting. This can cause frustration for students, preceptors, and faculty. There is a great need to develop an assessment of the interprofessional clinical learning environment and to provide sites with the skills needed to maximize collaborative practice and learning opportunities. Additionally, a site assessment process can help clinical sites better prepare for improving current learning processes.

The purpose of this study is to understand the strategies NC local governments are using to address diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the knowledge acquisition and information seeking habits of athletic trainers regarding the prevention and management of exertional heat illness. The study also aims to understand the facilitators and barriers associated with obtaining evidence-based information and implementing it in clinical practice. This will allow for the improvement of information delivery and knowledge transfer in the future.

By collecting large amounts of data, this study aims to describe the pregnancy rate, pregnancy outcomes, health and disease burden of women of reproductive age and their children under 2 years prior to, during, and following pregnancy and to investigate the structural, socio-demographic, and clinical covariates that contribute to adverse outcomes

Early Check is a research study to check newborns for rare but serious health problems. • Early Check does extra, free tests on the newborn screening blood sample that was already taken in the hospital using a heel prick. The tests allow us to find newborns with these health problems before symptoms start. • The goal of Early Check is to learn about the health problems and look for better treatments to help babies that have them.

The purpose of this work is to address institutional administrative capacity with input from UNC Chapel Hill and North Carolina Central University post-doctoral fellows and faculty to better understand experiences associated with previous research collaborations and assess perceived benefits and barriers to developing research capacity among investigators from under-represented minority groups.
