Seminar Description:
Problem Statement: Replicability and generalizability of interprofessional education (IPE) outcomes is hampered by inconsistent reporting of IPE characteristics/variables and limited multi-institutional studies. Assuming single site studies continue to be highly represented in published literature, it is critical to advocate for a solution which supports replicability and allows researchers to account for variability in learning environments across institutions.
Background: A team of researchers from 8 institutions/organizations in the US took the first steps in…
Seminar Description:
Background: Most healthcare education program accreditors in the US require that learners receive training and experience that will enable them to collaborate effectively on interprofessional teams when they graduate (HPAC, 2019). However, a recent study of the organizational structure of IPE programs in the U.S. found that dedicated resources for IPE tend to be associated with centralized infrastructure at institutions with an academic health center (Shrader et al, 2022). Institutions without such resources may struggle to develop and sustain IPE programs due to a…
