Presenting at CAB 2025:
All IPE programs should have a thorough knowledge of the recent AIHC publication of a national survey on the organizational structure and resources of IPE in the United States This workshop will guide attendees through using the publication to compare their program structures and resources with national standards. The 6 qualitative IPE themes reflected in the AIHC publication are reviewed along with examples from how one institution used the roadmap to evaluate its institutional structures and funding sources. The workshop will introduce attendees to how their IPE programs might consider doing similar comparative work at their own institution.
Residents, fellows and doctoral students from five different academic health sciences programs train to facilitate in an interprofessional education program. Training, mentoring and evaluations were provided by co-facilitators and mentors in the first year of study. The goal is for advanced learners to become independent in their facilitation skills and IP leadership by the end of the first year and advance to independent facilitation and mentorship of a new group of mentees in their second year
