Development of an interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaborative research practice for clinical faculty
ABSTRACT This article describes an interprofessional collaborative research practice fellowship designed to foster the research skills of clinical faculty. The year-long fellowship was grounded in big data analysis and the triangle of informatics—knowledge, information, and data. Fellows were selected to include diverse perspectives, training, and knowledge but had limited experience in team science or being a member of an interprofessional research team. The underlying philosophy of the fellowship was experiential learning.
Measuring the impact of interprofessional education on collaborative practice and patient outcomes
Interest in interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice continue to grow (Frenk et al., 2010; Cox & Naylor, 2013) but whether IPE improves clinical outcomes is uncertain. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM)1 is another step toward building a solid evidence base linking IPE to patient, population, and health system outcomes (IOM, 2015). The report lays out general guidelines for designing, analysing, and reporting studies of IPE across the health professional learning continuum.
