Presenting at CAB 2025:
Mastering Interprofessional Facilitation, Essential Knowledge, and Skills for Effective Facilitation
Interprofessional collaboration is crucial in healthcare. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the need for interprofessional education (IPE) to address healthcare gaps. The Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education offers an Interprofessional Core Curriculum, completed by over 4,000 students from eight university campuses. The Nursing School at XX University is a major contributor.
The IP Core curriculum, based on the IPEC Core Competencies (2023), equips learners with essential collaboration skills. It includes online modules and team learning experiences. Facilitators from diverse disciplines support the curriculum, but many lack effective facilitation skills.
To address this, an online IP Facilitation course was developed, providing necessary training. The course uses interactive content and assessments to ensure learning outcomes. Learners receive a digital badge upon completion, indicating mastery of IP Facilitation. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this online IP Facilitation Course.
If you are involved in interprofessional learning in the education or practice setting, you are welcome to join this interactive workshop. You will learn how to transition a traditional content focused interprofessional curriculum to a truly competency-based curriculum, using your own national competencies. Aligning and using evidence-based theories and models to shape curricular design, delivery and evaluation. This is a hands-on participatory workshop where you will have the opportunity to compare traditional and competency-based curricular models, identify the essential components of a competency-based interprofessional curriculum, and start your own build through formulating draft competency trajectories for your learners.
