Material Detail

Quoted from the report:

This report is organized in the following fashion: first, we provide key definitions
and principles that guided us in identifying core interprofessional competencies.
Then, we describe the timeliness of interprofessional learning now, along with
separate efforts by the six professional education organizations to move in this
direction. We identify eight reasons why it is important to agree on a core set of
competencies across the professions. A concept- interprofessionality- is introduced
as the idea that is foundational to the identification of core interprofessional
competency domains and the associated specific competencies. Interprofessional
education has a dynamic relationship to practice needs and practice improvements.
In the concluding background section, we describe three recently developed
frameworks that identify interprofessional education as fundamental to practice
improvement.

Then, the competency approach to learning is discussed, followed by what
distinguishes interprofessional competencies. We link our efforts to the five
Institute of Medicine (IOM) core competencies for all health professionals
(IOM, 2003). The introduction and discussion of the four competency domains
and the specific competencies within each form the core of the report. We
describe how these competencies can be formulated into learning objectives
and learning activities at the pre-licensure/pre-certifying level, and name several
factors influencing choice of learning activities. Educators are now beginning to
develop more systematic curricular approaches for developing interprofessional
competencies. We provide several examples. We conclude the report with
discussion of key challenges to interprofessional competency development and
acknowledge several limitations to the scope of the report. An appendix describes
the goals of the IPEC group that prompted the development of this report, the
panel’s charge, process and participants.
