Through Disaster Management IPE, FIKES UIN Jakarta Strengthens Interprofessional Collaboration Competencies
Jakarta, Berita FIKES Online – The Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKES) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta held an Interprofessional Education (IPE) program focused on Disaster Management on Friday (November 6, 2026). The event, which took place within the FKIK and FIKES UIN Jakarta complex, involved students from the Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health study programs.
This IPE initiative on Disaster Management is part of FIKES UIN Jakarta’s ongoing effort to equip students with the skills for cross-disciplinary collaboration, preparing them to handle various emergency and disaster situations. Through a collaborative learning approach, students are encouraged to understand the importance of teamwork in delivering healthcare services that are prompt, accurate, and integrated.
The program began with Group Discussions (GD), providing a space for students from different study programs to exchange perspectives and experiences based on their respective fields of expertise. During this session, participants explored potential challenges that may arise during a disaster, while also identifying the specific roles and responsibilities of each healthcare profession in the process of managing victims.
Through these discussions, students are trained to develop interprofessional communication skills, establish effective coordination, and make collaborative decisions when faced with complex and dynamic conditions.
Following the discussion session, participants engaged in a Table Top Exercise (TTX)—a scenario-based drill designed to simulate disaster situations. In this activity, students were challenged to analyze emergency conditions, establish response priorities, and develop appropriate strategies, all from the perspective of their respective professional roles.
The TTX not only tested the participants' critical thinking skills but also reinforced their understanding of the importance of interprofessional synergy in disaster management. Through this simulation, students learned that the success of disaster response relies heavily on effective coordination and communication among all healthcare professionals.
Additionally, participants took part in a Basic Life Support (BLS) simulation to strengthen their practical skills in handling medical emergencies. During this session, students practiced fundamental first-aid procedures for cardiac arrest and other critical situations that demand a rapid and precise response.
The learning environment remained active and interactive throughout the event. Students not only gained a theoretical grasp of disaster management but also acquired hands-on experience in collaborating with other healthcare professions—a dynamic they will encounter in their future professional careers.
Through the Interprofessional Education (IPE) activity on Disaster Management, the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKES) at UIN Jakarta aims to help students develop both professional competencies and collaborative skills—essential requirements in modern healthcare. The ability to work across disciplines is considered a key factor in delivering healthcare services that prioritize the safety and needs of the community.
This initiative underscores the commitment of FIKES UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta to developing innovative and collaborative learning models that remain relevant to the current challenges in the healthcare sector. By utilizing an Interprofessional Education approach, students are expected to become competent and adaptive healthcare professionals, prepared to contribute effectively in various scenarios, including disasters and emergency situations.
Through the synergy between the Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health study programs, this activity serves as a concrete example of the importance of interprofessional collaboration in achieving integrated, responsive healthcare services that are focused on public safety. (RDS/ZR)
