Description
Purpose: The goal of this presentation is to define the IPE activities that meet the national competencies and share strategies for designing, implementing, and assessing IPE programs.
Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), interprofessional education is defined as students from 2 or more professions learning about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaborations and improve health outcomes. The institute of Medicine (IOM) reports that IPE must be included in the education and training of health care professionals to enhance the delivery of health care services. Most recently, many accrediting agencies have refined IPE to be Interprofessional Practice and Education. Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) included IPE in the 2016 Accreditation Standards. Many colleges and schools of pharmacy have successfully developed and implemented IPE programs at their institutions.
Description of Intervention: Faculty and administrators from various U.S. pharmacy programs will describe didactic and experiential IPE programs at their institutions. The presenters will share innovative examples of IPE programs and provide “lessons learned” for developing, implementing, and assessing IPE programs.
Results: A group of academicians will highlight their national IPE initiatives to better meet the WHO framework, International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) Global Competencies, and ACPE standards. In addition, the presenters will describe innovative strategies for designing, implementing, and assessing the quality of IPE programs in various schools and colleges of pharmacy.
Conclusions: Re-designing the education and training of health care professionals by including IPE will enhance the quality and safety of health care services, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes.
Relevance to IPE or Practice: Initiatives used to design, implement, and assess various IPE programs can be applied to other healthcare disciplines delivering IPE. Educational and training outcomes of these initiatives can be mapped to national and global IPE standards to enhance the quality of pharmacy education.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe various national programs for designing, implementing, and assessing IPE.
2. Identify successful examples of IPE pharmacy programs applicable to other health care professions.
3. Share “lessons learned” for designing, implementing, and assessing IPE programs.
