As facilitators for the course, we developed numerous group activities that appeared to be relevant and what we hoped would be interesting, motivating, and fun. While students’ on-going evaluations of the activities were positive, it was concerning that the final evaluations highlighted…

Advancing Interprofessional Education Research: The Need for a Systematic Approach

Although interprofessional education (IPE) is seen as a prerequisite to collaborative practice that improves health outcomes (World Health Organization, 2010), best practices regarding development, implementation, and assessment of IPE remain elusive. This uncertainty is due, in part, to inconsistencies in reporting within the IPE literature. Determining the effectiveness of a social or behavioral intervention like IPE requires reproducibility, replicability and generalizability of findings…
