highlighted repeatedly and uniformly positively across the student cohorts in course evalua- tions. The flipped classroom concept has provided additional opportunities for students to learn “from and with each other.”
The IPEBP course instructors and faculty advisors have continued the team-based clinical case project in the Fall 2018 offering of the course, including ongoing reflection of its application to interprofessional education and collaborative practice. The IPEBP course will continue to evolve based upon the results of qualitative and quantitative assessment tool outcomes; a positive trend has been identified regarding student learning as well as student perception of the interprofessional collaboration that this course provides to Salus University students early in their academic careers.
In Fall 2018, the Salus Office of the Registrar completed the preparations needed for the capacity to assign interprofessional education (IPE) didactic course designations. In January 2019, the Deans’ Council adopted a Policy and Process document for Interprofessional Education Didactic Course Designations at Salus to delineate a purposeful approach that is consistent with the widely held understanding of interprofessional education. The inaugural didactic course at Salus to receive an IPE course designation is the Interprofessional Evidence Based Practice Course beginning in Fall 2019.
