Quality of contact counts: The development of interprofessional identity in first year students.
ABSTRACT
Professional and interprofessional identities: a scoping review.
Identity development within the interprofessional field is an emerging area of research. This scoping review aims to establish how professional and interprofessional identities are defined, conceptualized, theorized and measured within the interprofessional literature. Six databases were systematically searched for papers focusing on professional and/or interprofessional identities in interprofessional healthcare and education using a scoping review methodology. A total of 84 papers were included.
High and low functioning team-based pre-licensure interprofessional learning: an observational evaluation.
Interprofessional education (IPE) is embedded in many health professional training programs, often with a focus on collaborative teamwork. Most studies into whether IPE delivers the desired collaborative teamwork capabilities has tended to rely on short term, self-assessed changes in learners’ attitudes, knowledge and skills. This study adopted overt ethnographic observation to understand how a convenience sample of students behave in groups during interprofessional team-based clinical placements.
A KICK-START GUIDE TO INTERPROFESSIONAL FIELDWORK: DEVELOPING CAPABILITIES FOR FUTURE WORK
Based on experiences in health with interprofessional education, this guide provides the key approaches to establish effective interprofessional/interdisciplinary team fieldwork learning experiences. The intended audience for this guide is higher education staff with an interest in establishing interprofessional team fieldwork learning programs. This guide was produced as part of an Australian Collaborative Education (ACEN) research grant, and is based on many years of work implementing and researching interprofessional fieldwork in health at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
