Demystifying Concepts in Assessment: How to Evaluate and Adapt Assessment Tools Designed to Measure Interprofessional Teamwork and Collaborative Practice
Workshop B
Presented by:
Jane Lindsay Miller, PhD, Director, Academic Health Center Simulation Center/Interprofessional Education and Resource Center, University of Minnesota
Claudio Violato, PhD, Professor and Assistant Dean, Medical School, University of Minnesota
Anne Woll, MS, Associate Director, Academic Health Center Simulation Center/Interprofessional Education and Resource Center, University of Minnesota
MORNING SESSION
In this session, we explore internationally-accepted standards for validity and reliability, and interrogate their application to tools for assessing interprofessional teamwork and collaborative practice skills (Downing, Yudkowsky 2009; Messick 1990; Downing 2003). Unified validity theory (Messick 1990) will be used as a reference, and participants will be exposed to sources of validity evidence based on guidelines from the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014). Resources for selecting and creating valid and reliable assessment tools will be shared. Presenters will speak from their own experience using these tools (some of which will be drawn from the Center’s collection) in both simulated and clinical contexts. Participants will have the opportunity to share their own experiences and to seek guidance in assessment and evaluation of IPECP.

Leveraging Interprofessional Design Thinking to Improve Education, Healthcare Outcomes and Return on Investment- SOLD OUT
Workshop D
AFTERNOON SESSION
When most people encounter the concept of design thinking, they picture a piece of art or building. Design thinking is so much more - especially when it's interprofessional. In this workshop led by a team of healthcare and design professionals, participants use a variety of design thinking methods, like charrettes and innovation space techniques, to re-envision and improve interprofessional education, care delivery processes, patient outcomes and ROI.
Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health - SOLD OUT
Workshop E
AFTERNOON SESSION
A Framework for Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) was the second most downloaded National Academies report published in 2016. The 55 members of the Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education who called for and financially supported the study leading to this report, come from 19 different health professions representing various educational and health system organizations. The consensus study committee who developed the framework was charged with this task in response to an overwhelming recognition that educators and practitioners need to work together to effectively address the critical and pressing social barriers to achieving health. Antonia Villarruel and Jorge Delva, members of the committee, and Patricia Cuff, Director of the Global Forum, will lead this interactive workshop, based upon the SDH Framework and proposed elements for success.
Participants are encouraged to come prepared to the workshop by reading the SDH report and be particularly familiar with Chapter 4. During the workshop, participants will actively use the Conceptual Model for Strengthening Health Professional Education in the Social Determinants of Health [Figure 4-2, p. 92] and other important concepts to apply to their own situations, developing reflection on future action back home.
Note: Those registering for the program may consider bringing a team of two or more to benefit more fully from the program.
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Analyze the Conceptual Model for Strengthening Health Professionals Education in the SDOH report in the context of their own health professions education programs
- Explore the practical implications of the domains of lifelong learning and in education, organization and community to use in planning and implementing their SDOH strategic approaches for success
- Write a SDH action planning reflection to engage their teams back home
