Presenting at the Nexus Summit:
Dental medicine students often rate Interprofessional (IP) educational experiences as a lower priority for their curriculum than peers in other health professions. This may be due to the lack of exposure to other professions in standard dental medicine curricula. This study investigates trends in perceived interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) skills among third-year dental medicine students participating in two exposure level experiences with students from other professions across a large academic health center. Two cohorts of D3 dental medicine students (2018-2019 and 2019-2020)…

NEXUS Summit Theme and Subtheme to be addressed: To understand the current status of IPE program…
It is important to assess the effectiveness of all interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) activities; however, current assessment measures pose considerable time burdens to participants and event logistics. Continual innovation in assessment needs to remain a priority for IPE programs. The Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS) is a frequently used assessment measure of perceived IPCP skill levels. This survey is administered after an interprofessional learning experience and uses a retrospective pre-test/post-test design to assess 20 items and includes…
Measurement tools in interprofessional education (IPE) are at their infancy. Establishing the effectiveness of IPE experiences is essential, and the current assessment measures may be subject to various types of bias. Innovations in the assessment of IPE activities should be a priority, including assessing the properties of existing widely used measures. Traditional pretest/posttest measures are believed to measure change as a result of an IPE experience by asking learners to identify knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors before an IPE experience and then again after the experience.
