Presenting at CAB 2025:

This workshop will explore critical areas for research to advance interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) in healthcare. Participants will identify gaps, refresh evaluation approaches, and suggest innovative funding strategies. The session aims to shape a 5-year research agenda, fostering collaborative, actionable approaches for IPECP with the overall goal of improving healthcare delivery.
This workshop will build on findings from the Interprofessional Research.Global environmental scan, to focus on assessing interprofessional collaboration in practice. Participants will co-design a framework based on IPC competencies, identifying key data elements to assess practice activities, behaviors and environmental factors, which will also inform future IPC research.
