At the end of their Interprofessional Education course through Rush University, students were asked to reflect upon what they learned from their community health mentor by recording a video or sharing a written piece around how learning what matters most to older adults leads to better care. 54% of students opted to record a video vs. sharing a written reflection. The powerful video reflections helped assess the students' understanding of an age-friendly health system and gave Rush authentic and valuable content that they published on their Schaalman Senior Voices website to further educate the larger Chicago community and advocate for the needs of older adults.
Rush made the process simple for students and teachers by integrating the video request into the existing workflow in their online learning platform.
Students could record videos anytime, anywhere using their own phones or computers, resulting in more than 370 videos in just 7 weeks.
Many of the reflection videos were published on the Schaalman Senior Voices website, helping Rush to drive community engagement and support.
