Interprofessional education is essential to prepare students of health professions to work in clinical practice teams. Integrating team skills into classes is challenging due to schedule conflicts, curriculum variations, and general academic demands. Virtual asynchronous delivery can help overcome these barriers, offering opportunities to simulate team-based care planning. The Interprofessional Collaboratory Experience included four distinct modules. Using an online learning management system, students completed team-based care planning activities for a pediatric patient at two different age points and during transitional care. A mixed-methods evaluation integrated postactivity Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Scale results. A total of 858 students representing eight different professions completed the collaboratory experience over five course iterations (2020-2021). Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Scale results confirmed that gender (P < .001), cohort (P = .005), and profession (P < .001) were significant predictors of score change, and age group (P = .281) was not. Qualitative thematic analysis revealed the following: interprofessional collaboration, communication and respect, professional growth as a healthcare team member, and value and impact of other professions. An asynchronous virtual course for team care effectively supported interprofessional competency development for students across healthcare professions.

Introduction: Long-term survivors (LTS) of HIV, including individuals diagnosed before the availability of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), have played a pivotal role in shaping the HIV response. Despite an increase in their number in the United States, their unique medical, social and economic challenges remain underrepresented in HIV policy and research, particularly in the context of HIV cure advancements. While an HIV cure may alleviate ART-related burdens, LTS fear unintended consequences, including the potential loss of critical social benefits, economic support and healthcare access.
