The ties that bind: a network approach to creating a programme in faculty development
CONTEXT: Current trends in medical education reflect the changing health care environment. An increasingly large and diverse student population, a move to more distributed models of education, greater community involvement and an emphasis on social accountability, interprofessional education and student-centred approaches to learning necessitate new approaches to faculty development to help faculty members respond effectively to this rapidly changing landscape.

Improving Primary Health Care Through Collaboration: Briefing 2- Barriers to Successful Interprofessional Teams
This briefing is the second in a series of four that aims to provide an analysis of the impact of inter-professional teams on the Canadian primary health care system.
Countries with robust primary care systems have residents in better health at lower costs. One way to achieve a more robust primary health care system is to optimize the use of inter-professional primary care (IPC) teams. IPC teams can improve health outcomes for patients with chronic and complex conditions.

Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Competency Survey
This version of the IPEC Competency Self-Assessment Tool is a 42-item self-assessment questionnaire with items based on the competencies defined by the Interprofessional Education Collaboartive expert panel. It is designed for health professional students to rate their ability level on each competency using a 5-point Likert scale.
Take a walk on the practice side
Last Thursday, something unusual happened – I had time to think. Actually, I scheduled it in. I was preparing to travel and speak in several venues: Virginia Commonwealth University hosted by Alan Dow, a VCU assistant vice president, and then off to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to work with the Nexus Innovations Incubator Network team implementing practice models. While there, I had a scheduled Institute of Medicine webinar requested by Marilyn Chow, a Kaiser Permanente vice president and member of our National Advisory Council.
