Text

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP) are critical components of modern health sciences curricula, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and communication across various healthcare disciplines. This entails planning an environment where students and health workers from diverse health disciplines learn together, gaining a shared understanding of roles, responsibilities and values that lead to improved patient outcomes. IPE curricula aim to equip future healthcare professionals with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for effective teamwork in clinical settings by emphasizing the importance of communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making. Thus, IPE-CP is an own chapter within the German National Competence Based Catalogue of Learning Objectives for Undergraduate Medical Education (NKLM) [https://nklm.de/zend/menu] und also plays an important role in the Swiss “PROFILES” [https://www.profilesmed.ch/]. However, experience in implementing IPE-CP in German or Swiss core curricula is lower, than it is in South Africa. Thus, we invited South African colleagues to share their experience.

An IPE-CP framework has been developed the Sefako Makgatho University by combining the framework published by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative [1] and PhD research findings [2]. This combined framework has been created to provide a common lens through which disciplines can understand, describe, and implement team-based practices. In this workshop, we will introduce this framework (which is meanwhile used at 8 out of 10 South African medical faculties within the South African LOOOP network), compare it with the German NKLM and the Swiss PROFILES and will learn from our South African collegues, how they included IPE-CP into their curricula.

Learning objective: After the workshop, articipants will be able to

• explain, how a curriculum map can be used to facilitate development of interprofessional components within undergraduate curricula.
• describe the usage of NKLM, PROFILES, and IPE-CP framework for curriculum development.
• evaluate adventages and disadvantages of the three mentioned frameworks.

Agenda:

• Presentation: background and objective, structure of LOOOP - 10 min
• Demonstration: mapping of objectives to the IPE-CP framework, structure of an IPE-CP programme and how learning events from this programme can be attached to the various disciplines involved - 10 min
• Hands-on activity - paper exercise: create objectives and map each to IPE-CP catalogue, NKLM, PROFILES - 45 min
• Demonstration: filtering of IPE-CP objectives on LOOOP - 10 min
• Discussion of benefits and challenges - 15 min

Target group:

• Curriculum planners
• IPE-coordinators
• “NKLM Fakultätsbeauftragte”

Preparation: Not necessary.
