Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR)
The Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR) is intended for use in the assessment of interprofessional collaborator competencies. Development of the ICAR was guided by an interprofessional advisory committee comprising educators from the fields of medicine, nursing and the rehabilitative sciences.
Development and validation of the interprofessional collaborator assessment rubric (ICAR)
There have been increasing calls for a competency-based approach in interprofessional education (IPE). The purpose of this multi-site research project was to develop a validated set of interprofessional collaborator competencies and an associated competency-based assessment rubric, in both English and French languages. The first phase involved a detailed comparative analysis of peer-reviewed and grey literature using typological analysis to construct a draft list of interprofessional collaborator competency categories and statements.
Interprofessional collaboration student milestones
We are developing milestones for a new interprofessional collaboration competency domain for medical students at our institution. I am looking for existing examples at other institutions and no luck so far. Please contact me if you have interprofessional collaboration-related milestones in your school of medicine. Thanks so much!
