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.
