Presenting at CAB 2025:
IPE research should answer meaningful questions and utilize appropriate research designs and conceptual framing. The purpose of this session is to bring novice educational researchers to the next level based on individualized goals. Participants will build on their IPE research question of interest in a participatory workshop with research mentors that leads to a plan of action for each participant.
The C-ICE 2. aligns with the 2023 IPEC Core Competencies to assess interprofessional team behaviors. This presentation highlights updates to the tool, reliability and validity testing results, and its implications for advancing interprofessional education.
This pilot study involved health profession students delivering opioid education and naloxone training to their peers and to undergraduate resident advisors, leading to increased knowledge, reduced stigma, and enhanced advocacy. The program's success highlights a scalable model for expanding community efforts to address the opioid crisis.
This study examines the implementation and assessment of synchronous online interprofessional education (IPE) activities, comparing them with in-person sessions. Results showed equivalent confidence and teamwork outcomes, demonstrating the feasibility of online IPE. The presentation will offer insights into designing effective virtual IPE, assessing outcomes, and addressing challenges in healthcare education.
Creighton’s “Violence across the Lifespan” courses, engaging over 1,300 students from nine health professions, aim to equip students with skills to recognize and address violence through a trauma-informed lens. Featuring expert lectures, interactive experiences, and interprofessional discussions, these courses emphasize how collaboration among diverse professionals strengthens support for survivors, improves care quality, and broadens students’ perspectives for optimal outcomes.
This study was created by a health sciences student and provided to other health sciences students with inputs from various faculty members. The survey assessed the knowledge students have of the education, licensure, and clinical responisbilities of the 9 health professions represented at Creighton University. Subjective questions elucidate the preferences of students for the setting of interprofessional education.
This workshop explores strategies for systematic and longitudinal assessment and evaluation of IPE programs, focusing on learner outcomes, collaborative skills, and program effectiveness. Participants will engage in interactive activities to design robust assessment frameworks, enhancing their ability to evaluate and refine IPE curricula to meet accreditation standards and improve educational practices.
Discover how innovative interprofessional education (IPE) activities enhance pharmacy students' competencies, confidence, and team behavior. This session explores online and in-person formats, collaborative design with nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and evaluation outcomes using ICCAS and C-ICE© instruments, offering practical strategies for advancing interprofessional collaboration in healthcare education.
This presentation will reveal the national landscape of interprofessional education (IPE) curricula and assessment practices. It will identify key trends, challenges, and gaps, providing valuable insights for institutions seeking to enhance IPE programs and develop more standardized, evidence-based approaches to IPE curriculum and assessment.
