Christine Le, Raewyn Bassett, Marilyn MacDonald and Marion Brown meet to discuss their project.

Calling students, faculty and practitioners of social work, nursing, occupational therapy and medicine!

Dr. Marion Brown (Social Work) is leading a project called “Navigating Professional Identity in Interprofessional Health Care Settings”, along with team members Dr. Marilyn MacDonald (Nursing), Dr. Heidi Lauckner (Occupational Therapy), Dr. Joan Sargeant (Medicine) and Dr. Raewyn Bassett (Health Professions/CDHA).  This qualitative study is exploring the processes through which we are educated and become socialized within our “uni-professional” discipline while often concurrently educating and working within interprofessional contexts.  The project is currently recruiting students from the four programs named above and in the new year will be recruiting faculty members and pracitioners, so stayed tuned for your opportunity to share your thoughts!  This is a three-year study funded by the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation.
