Development of an Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale
The authors describe the development and psychometric testing across three study phases of an Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale. The measure contains two subscales: Quality of Care/Process (14 items) and Physician Centrality (6 items). The Quality of Care/Process subscale measures team members' perceptions of the quality of care delivered by health care teams and the quality of teamwork to accomplish this. The Physician Centrality subscale measures team members' attitudes toward physicians' authority in teams and their control over information about patients.

The Interprofessional Team Reasoning Framework
This resource is a team-based learning module created so that students will be able to analyze, deconstruct, discuss, and formulate a care plan for a standardized patient/client case as part of a multidisciplinary team using the Interprofessional Team Reasoning Framework.
Interprofessional Team Reasoning Framework as a Tool for Case Study Analysis with Health Professions Students: A Randomized Study
Background: This pilot study evaluated the efficacy of the Interprofessional Team Reasoning Framework (IPTRF) to facilitate teaching and learning case studies with health professions students.
Training for Teamwork
The competencies desired in interprofessional teamwork must be delineated in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes before decisions can be reached about the best curricular arrangements for attaining these objectives. It must be emphasized that interprofessional content is just one of many competing concerns that the curriculum planner juggles in designing a social work education program.
