Summary

Europe’s demographic trends require a workforce that can cope with an aging population with multimorbidity of chronic diseases. This requires health professions education that supports lifelong and interprofessional learning with innovative pedagogies and technologies. However, skills labs or workplaces often lack essential conditions for individual, deliberate practice and interprofessional learning. Digital transformation and related research are needed to empower a future-proof workforce.

The strategic partnership will develop simulation scenarios for individual skills training and interprofessional collaboration in home and palliative care, as well as a mobile application for narrative feedback and a shared debriefing dashboard for interprofessional team training. The training scenarios and digital and AI technologies will be piloted and researched in health professions education with students of medicine, nursing, occupational therapy and pharmacy in both Germany and Sweden.

Results will be: training scenarios, learning materials and guides, a mobile application with AI for getting and giving feedback, a debriefing dashboard, and scholarly publications on pilot implementations. These results will stimulate innovative learning and teaching practices in which individual health professionals engage more in deliberate practice and multi-professional teams learn to acquire the competencies for team-based patient care and move beyond single- professional approaches.
