ABSTRACT
This paper describes the process that nursing, social work, and pharmacy faculty at a state university undertook to develop interprofessional web-based breast cancer education modules for incorporation into required curriculum. Eight web modules initially developed to educate baccalaureate nursing students on breast cancer were revised and expanded at each health professional school to include discipline-specific information pertinent to social work and pharmacy scope of practice. A specialized internet-accessible web-delivered application was constructed consisting of eight reusable learning objects, or modules, including epidemiology, risk factors and screening, diagnosis, staging and grading, treatment, survivorship, disparities, and metastatic breast cancer. These modules were organized for easy integration into existing courses and allowed for an efficient means of providing expert, evidence-based content. Innovative methods to integrate nursing, social work, and pharmacy education are needed to achieve an effective interprofessional educational approach to teaching breast cancer content.
