This presentation on Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP) by Jennifer Watson and Diane Hawley focuses on understanding and implementing effective IPE/IPP experiences. Here’s a summary of the key points:
- The presentation highlights various aspects of IPE/IPP, including:
Creating relevance and building a case for IPE
Research considerations
Understanding the IPE context (objectives, leadership, terminology)
Student and faculty issues
Curriculum integration and frameworks
Assessment and evaluation - Three case studies are presented to illustrate the complexity of determining what constitutes a true IPE experience:
Elementary School Screenings: Various health professions conducting screenings at a school.
Poverty Simulation: Students from multiple disciplines participating in a poverty simulation.
Interprofessional Ethics Course: A course on ethics for students from different health professions. - For each case study, participants were asked if they considered it an IPE offering. Results varied, highlighting the nuanced nature of defining IPE:
Elementary School Screenings: 29% Yes, 71% No
Poverty Simulation: 52% Yes, 48% No
Ethics Course: 97% Yes, 3% No - The presenters note that, in their opinion, none of the three scenarios as presented would be considered true IPE offerings without modifications.
- The presentation concludes with a Q&A session and an activity where participants are asked to:
Modify one of the case studies to ensure it becomes an IPE activity
Use an IPE Course/Experience Checklist to address specific areas (e.g., faculty, assessment, framework) in the modified experience
The presentation emphasizes the importance of understanding what truly constitutes IPE and how to design effective IPE experiences that promote collaboration and learning across healthcare disciplines.
