A comparison of the validity of two instruments assessing health professional student perceptions of interprofessional education and practice
Health professional education programs increasingly incorporate interprofessional education (IPE) activities into curricula in response to evolving health policy and accreditation requirements in an effort to highlight the benefits of, and prepare students for, interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). As such, there is a need for statistically valid instruments designed to assess baseline student perceptions regarding IPE and IPCP.
Intensive care decisions about level of aggressiveness of care
Questionnaires were used to assess (a) the factors intensive care unit resident physicians (N = 33) and nurses (N = 57) perceived as influential in making decisions about level of aggressiveness of patient care (LAC), (b) who residents and nurses believed should be involved versus who was involved in decision making, and (c) the amount of collaboration they perceived in their practices. Questionnaires then were used to assess decision making about 314 patients.

Lifelong Learning in Medicine and Nursing
The Josiah Macy Foundation’s 2007 conference on continuing education (CE) in the health professions identified the need, and set the stage for, improvement in this last and longest phase of health professionals’ education. Establishing a platform for change in an era of health care reform, the report stressed incorporatingfindings from the extensive literature of health professions’ CE.
Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions
A workforce of knowledgeable health professionals is critical to the discovery and application of health care practices to prevent disease and promote wellbeing. Yet today’s professional health workforce is not consistently prepared to provide high quality health care and assure patient safety. One contributing factor to this problem is the absence of a comprehensive and well-integrated system of continuing education in the health professions.
