Conclusion
This toolkit, An IPECP Toolkit: A Guide to Effective Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Experiences in Optometric Education, was posted to the ASCO website in October 2019. The Toolkit is intended to be a “living” document and is updated on an as-needed basis. Feedback and suggestions for ways in which this Toolkit can be made more helpful are welcomed and can be forwarded to:
Joanne C. Zuckerman, MSEd

The Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry and its Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Committee hope this Toolkit will serve as a valuable resource
for individuals and institutions, wherever they may be in their interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP) endeavors. While any IPE / CP initiative has inherent challenges and potential obstacles, the resultant faculty – student energy, inclusiveness, mutual familiarization, and communication that accompany the process of IPE / CP program development and implementation are often as important as the projects themselves. As
we work together to shape the future of optometric education and advance the delivery of health care, we wish you great success.
