Professional Development for Interprofessional Education: Participation and Perceptions From a Pilot Program

Öffentlich Deposited

Interprofessional education (IPE) is a major priority for health professions education programs preparing learners for professional team-based practice.1 Clinical settings have been recognized as the ideal context for learners’ development of interprofessional attitudes and competencies.2 A recent IPE practice guideline for interprofessional teaching concludes “faculty development to enhance existing skills is desirable and should combine a hands-on workshop with demonstration and feedback involving different professions”.3 Interprofessional education and care is also a key part of Duke Health’s strategic plan to “dramatically increase interprofessional education, research and practice”.4 However, clinician-educators have limited professional development opportunities at Duke to effectively facilitate IPE.
