The recent creation of national accreditation and competency standards for interprofessional education in health professions training underscores the importance of improving the ability of trainees to work collaboratively. At UCSF, as interprofessional learning experiences and practice models are expanding, faculty development in interprofessional education and practice (IPE/P) is increasingly critical to both grow and sustain IPE initiatives. Many faculty have had only limited exposure to IPE during their own training, and are unfamiliar with the principles of effective IPE/P. This blended learning experience aims to introduce fundamental concepts and to prepare educators in setting the stage for interprofessional teaching in their settings.

During this workshop, participants will:

Review definitions, core concepts, and resources for IPE
Reflect on current practice environments and consider how role modeling, the hidden curriculum, and a collaborative culture impact interprofessional teaching
Examine student comments about IPE experiences at UCSF and reflect on what works/does not work
Apply concepts discussed to your own teaching activities

At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

Explain to a new faculty member what interprofessional education (IPE) is and its four core competency domains
Describe how IPE is integrated into health professions training programs at UCSF
Describe skills essential for IPE that may differ from those used in teaching trainees of one’s own profession
Analyze their workplace to identify barriers to interprofessional practice and education and propose solutions
Review the UCSF IPE Passport rubric and apply to current and/or planned IP teaching activities
