Community and Commitment
At the 6th Congress of Health Professions Educators, Community and Commitment, participants wrestled with the definition of a community — is it the health sciences building(s), the university campus, the neighborhood beyond the walls, or (through electronic connections and airplanes) does it extend to others in a global community? Variations on this definition emerged and reemerged throughout the conference.

Health Professions Educators Confront a New Era
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.
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.
