IPFS: Interprofessional Facilitation Scale
IPFS was developed to assess skills in interprofessional education facilitation to aid educators shifting from the more didactic teacher role to the more interactive facilitator-of-learning role which requires effort and skill acquisition. This scale can quantify the necessary skillset by evaluating facilitation skills and competencies.
The Interprofessional Education (IPE) Facilitation Scale is a 15-item tool with a 4-point scale that is used to assess interprofessional education facilitation. The tool has two subscales: IP facilitation and collaborative patient centered practice.
