Season 01 Episode 05 - Making Sense of Sensemaking

CAIPER confabs

It’s time for another episode of CAIPER Confabs, your favorite health professions podcast brought to you by CAIPER Interprofessional by Design℠. In this episode, the team from the Center for Advancing Interprofessional Practice, Education and Research at ASU (Dr. Gerri Lamb, Dr. Karen Saewert, Michael Moramarco, Nina Karamehmedovic, Jinnette Senecal, and Jody Steehler) come together to explore the idea of sensemaking. We discuss the definition and process of sensemaking as well as insights into how we have used this as a team, and how its use within the clinical environment could be advantageous. With the variety of backgrounds and perspectives represented from the team, we provide an in-depth look into the practical use of sensemaking as an ability and tool to aid individuals in navigating the constantly-shifting landscape of healthcare. As well, we discuss why the ability to sensemake should be a core and foundational competency for all of our health and non-health professional learners. Resources from this Episode: - Ancona, D.
