AIHC Program Committee
Committee Charge (functions of committee):
Guide the development of programming for AIHC that will provide platforms for members to have voice and influence over interprofessional practice and education (IPE), and policy that supports IPE. Programming will focus on collaboration that brings together AIHC members and stakeholders to learn about, from, and with one another to improve health and healthcare for all.
Interprofessional Client-Centred Collaborative Practice: What Does it Look Like? How Can it be Achieved?
Interprofessional client-centered collaborative practice (ICCCP) is collective by nature, emerging as it does at the intersection of a wide variety of professional knowledge and scopes of practice. Many studies of ICCCP focus on the determinants or inputs of collaborative practice as well as on the results, outputs, or outcomes. This is echoed methodologically, as a preponderance of ICCCP teamwork studies primarily employ interview and survey data.

Addressing the Interprofessional Collaboration Competencies of the Association of American Medical Colleges: A Systematic Review of Assessment Instruments in Undergraduate Medical Education
PURPOSE:
To summarize characteristics and validity evidence of tools that assess teamwork in undergraduate medical education (UME), and provide recommendations for addressing the interprofessional collaboration competencies of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
METHOD:
Interprofessional teamwork and team interventions in chronic care: A systematic review
To identify key features of teamwork and interventions for enhancing interprofessional teamwork (IPT) in chronic care and to develop a framework for further research, we conducted a systematic literature review of IPT in chronic care for the years 2002–2014. Database searches yielded 3217 abstracts, 21 of which fulfilled inclusion criteria. We identified two more studies on the topic by scanning the reference lists of included articles, which resulted in a final total of 23 included studies.
Health and social care professionals' attitudes to interprofessional working and interprofessional education: A literature review
The healthcare setting is a rich learning environment for students to experience interprofessional working (IPW) and interprofessional education (IPE). However, opportunities for IPE are limited, and student experiences of effective IPW are varied. This raises the question of how IPW and IPE are valued by health or social care professionals. A search of the literature was carried out to identify studies of health and social care staff attitudes to IPW and IPE. This review provides a summary of the main factors found to influence attitudes and the strengths and limitations of these studies.
An Example of Interventional Audiology in an Interprofessional Post-Trauma Clinic
Although often discussed separately, interventional audiology and inter-professional healthcare ideally go hand-in-hand. This article describes how we apply interventional audiology in an inter-professional setting affecting the care of trauma patients on the day of services and in the future to improve recovery and reduce future trauma. In addition, we provide data that illustrate that the inter-professional setting affects future practices of the professionals who become aware of the positive impact improved communication has on their patients.
