ASCO demonstrated its expanded and ongoing commitment to interprofessional education and collaborative practice under the leadership of the 2012 – 2014 ASCO President, Dr. Jennifer Coyle, whose presidential initiatives included establishing an ASCO Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) Task Force, which soon transitioned to an ad hoc committee. Projects spearheaded by the ASCO IPECP Task Force/Committee included:
Ë conducting a survey of the schools and colleges of optometry to collect data about existing interprofessional education (IPE) activity, as well as attitudes, challenges and future plans relating to IPE at each institution. The survey data were published in a poster presentation at American Optometric Association’s Optometry’s Meeting® in 2014.
Ë convening an Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Summit in 2016.
In addition to optometry representatives from all ASCO member institutions, Summit participants represented audiology, allopathic medicine, dentistry, health administration, nursing, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, and social work. Following keynote addresses and interactive activities, Summit attendees participated in small group breakout sessions with subsequent large group presentations on the topics of best practices, assessment tools, and future trends for IPE and interprofessional practice (IPP). Participants met with individuals from their home institutions to discuss plans for the implementation of IPE and/or IPP initiatives.
Ë developing and disseminating a video in 2017 which presents interviews with a student and faculty members discussing the importance of learning with, about, and from students from other health professions, as well as the benefits to patients of collaborative care. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuUfWGaLeWI
One of the five Key Strategic Objectives included in the 2018 – 2022 ASCO Strategic Plan is to develop and facilitate inter-institutional and interprofessional collaboration among ASCO member institutions as well as between ASCO and other organizations.14
