Barbara F. Brandt, PhD and Erin P. Fraher, PhD, MPP

Presentation at Blending the Blues: A Collaboration with IPE4UNC and Duke AHEAD

Presentation Overview

• Collaboration between Brandt and Fraher grew from a desire to forge a new, joint vision for the future
• Current workforce planning approaches not fit for purpose to meet future challenges, and the field of IPE faces its own challenges
• New Zealand is mental model for redesigning workforce, practice, and education around the patient, not professions
• New Zealand’s model may not seem applicable, but cost, quality, technology, and focus on “consumer” pressures are driving similar reforms in the US, with or without the ACA or a replacement
• This shift will require moving from “old school” to “new school” approaches in workforce planning and IPE
• We believe the way forward for our fields is together
