IP-COMPASS is a quality improvement framework to help clinical settings become better prepared to provide intentional interprofessional learning experiences (i.e., learning experiences that help students develop skills for interprofessional collaboration). It provides a structured process to help you understand the types of organizational values, structures, processes, practices and behaviours that, when aligned, can create an environment that is conducive to interprofessional learning.

The IP-COMPASS tool is for individuals or groups within a healthcare organization who are charged with developing and delivering interprofessional education. The tool will help them create an environment necessary for good interprofessional education to occur. This is not meant as a tool to provide interprofessional education to students.
