Abstract
This study extends the Advanced Interprofessional Service-Learning Experience (AISLE) to improve health care professionals’ competencies to partner with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their health in the project Extending Advanced Service-Learning with People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. The program will create interprofessional education experiences in collaboration with community-based organizations in which teams of interprofessional students will partner with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Supported by staff, they will develop wellness goals with action plans over three telehealth visits, providing experiences meant to improve student interprofessional, disability, and telehealth competencies.
