members prioritizing IPE as a core aspect of education. To ensure IPE is seen as relevant to student learning, there should be a structure in place for periodic review of programming to ensure it is aligned with priorities and has a measurable impact on student learning
and practice. Sharing the findings with curriculum committees to continually reinforce the importance of IPE is recommended.
Have you developed an evaluation process for IPE programming?
A structure for rigorous analysis should be created to maintain high quality programming and to gain positive attention from academic leaders. Develop a system to map IPE activities to competencies and learning objectives. The four core competency domains for interpro- fessional collaborative practice, values/ethics, roles /responsibilities, and teamwork and communication, can serve as a framework to formulate competencies for an IPE program. Formulated competencies should also be inclusive of the priorities of the local institution and curricular needs.
Have you developed the appropriate structure to revise and improve IPE programming?
Successful IPE programming and organizational culture changes require ongoing evidence- based intervention. Develop ways to measure the effectiveness of the program as well as
a process for implementing changes and capitalizing on new opportunities.15 Section 4 Evaluation and Change Management provides information about measurement tools.
Will your institution recognize, reinforce, and reward positive teamwork behaviors and improvements in process?
If evaluation associates your IPE program with a positive impact on individuals and the institution, the findings should be publicized to reinforce culture change, increase buy-in, and as an incentive for participating. To build upon that incentive, faculty could be rewarded during promotion processes, including support for increased release time.
