“…These were: Interprofessional Patient Care Rounds, Interprofessional Nursing Home Visits, Interprofessional Clinic Visits, Interprofessional Specialty Practice Experiences, and Mixed Methods Interprofessional Experiential Courses. [11][12][13][14][15] While many of these are ideally performed at large academic health centers with a variety of health care professions onsite, the concepts are flexible and could potentially be adapted according to institution-specific constraints. Detailed descriptions of each can be found in the task force's full report.…”

The experiential component of a doctor of pharmacy curricula is an ideal, yet underutilized vehicle to advance interprofessional education (IPE) initiatives. To date, most experiential-based IPE initiatives occur in a naturally occurring, non-deliberate fashion. The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Experiential Education Section formed the Task Force on Intentional Interprofessional Education in Experiential Education in academic year 2015-2016 to explore the issue. This commentary describes the work of the task force, including the following elements: defining intentional interprofessional experiential education as "the explicit effort by preceptors and practice sites to create/foster educational opportunities or activities designed specifically to achieve interprofessional educational competencies;" conducting a systematic literature review to identify examples of intentional interprofessional experiential education in the published literature; surveying faculty with oversight of experiential education programs and preceptors within those programs; and generating recommendations to stakeholders including AACP, pharmacy schools, and experiential education administrators.

After complex orthopaedic-surgical treatment of car crash polytrauma, we face multilevel patient problems, from algodisfunctional to psychological consequences, which are very difficult to manage. Aim of the study: identifying the optimal ways to approach cases of polytrauma with major functional and psychological implications. Material and Methods: We present the cases of two female patients, 19 and 18-year-old, victims of major road accidents that required car extrication. The accidents resulted in minor craniocerebral trauma, weight bearing bones and pelvis fractures, musculoskeletal and skin avulsion, and neurogenic bladder with catheterization. They underwent repeated orthopedic-surgical interventions and plastic surgery after which they were referred to functional rehabilitation. In the rehabilitation department we were confronted with anxious, uncooperative patients, with a very high level of somatic pain, incapable of actively mobilizing in the bed plan, one of them, within the limits of physical resources, presenting agitation and night aggressiveness. Results: After the complex clinical evaluation we initiated the rehabilitation treatment. The initial rehabilitation results were minimal because of the pain threshold, high levels of anxiety and fatigue due to insomnia. We asked for psychological evaluation and counseling and we organized 6 short daily exercise sessions, then four longer ones, so as not to exceed the patients' momentary resources. The level of difficulty of the kinetic training was progressively increased, being constantly adapted to the daily training gains of the patients. The aggressive outbursts in one of the patients were related to the dread of darkness and loneliness at night, as a consequence of incarceration from the night road accident. In 4 weeks we gained independence for eating, spontaneous urination, bedside independent mobilization, verticalisation and walking with a frame for short distances. Conclusions: Pain, somatic dysfunction and posttraumatic stress management is a complex process that requires a multidisciplinary approach, including the psychological one. The rehabilitation particularity consisted of multiple daytime rehabilitation sessions adapted to the daily resources of the patients.

The U.S. Veterans Health Administration established the Polytrauma System of Care (PSC) in response to the growing need for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and polytrauma rehabilitation services for our returning war heroes. The unique and complex patterns of injuries sustained during the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in significant physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments which require an extraordinary level of specialized training and skill provided by the PSC interdisciplinary team. The PSC offers a holistic, coordinated, and comprehensive continuum of polytrauma/brain injury rehabilitation. These services range from intensive inpatient rehabilitation to residential and outpatient programs designed to address all facets of combat injury. These services are available to Veterans and service members across the nation and have been involved in the direct care of tens of thousands of combat injured personnel. This article provides an overview of services and new initiatives created by the PSC to provide the best care for our Veterans and service members.
