Master adaptive learning has been adopted as a conceptual underpinning for professional development and continuous lifelong learning. The ability to adapt expertise to routine and uncommon situation is essential in all the health professions. Master adaptive learning encourages agility and creativity and provides ways to do this across the continuum of learning and clinical situations. To date, however, the concepts and strategies associated with master adaptive learning have been applied primarily at the level of individual learner.
This seminar explores how elements critical in developing…
We are all working hard, both individually and collectively, to improve interprofessional practice and education. However, despite best efforts, progress is slow, and outcomes remain variable. Collaborative scholarship provides opportunities to widen access to a greater number of techniques used for research and more efficient learning, brings more experience to bear upon a problem/issue, and promotes creativity and effective problem-solving.
This session is an introduction to IPECP collaborative scholarship and will emphasize enablers of IPECP collaborative scholarship, provide an…

Peer review has been identified as a critical element of the publication process. (JF Polak, 1995). However, the continued growth of scientific submissions puts an increasing burden on the demand for peer review (M. Kovanis etal., 2016). Reviewer fatigue has become evident in trying to meet the review demands(C. Fox et al., 2017). It is therefore critical that new manuscript reviewers are trained to add diversity to the mix of reviewers and increase the number of skilled reviewers to reduce the burden and control burnout of current reviewers.
Reviewer development and mentorship comes in many…
