Additionally, he has (co)developed and standardized several IPECP assessment tools, including the Dual Identity Scale (DIS), the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS), and the Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scales (ISVS, ISVS-A, & ISVS-B).

Presenting at the Nexus Summit:

In the ever-evolving landscape of Interprofessional Practice and Education (IPE), it is crucial to prioritize the systematic and longitudinal assessment of IPE program/curricula effectiveness. This approach to assessment is necessary to demonstrate that minimum accreditation standards have been met; but further, it is essential for gathering empirical evidence to inform evidence-based practice and to refine IPE initiatives for quality improvement that meet evolving needs of learners, patients and caregivers. This seminar offers a comprehensive exploration of strategies to best navigate…
Purpose: Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), occurs when health professions work collaboratively with the goal of improved quality of care and services. IPCP is reported to enhance patient outcomes and care providers’ professional and workplace satisfaction, yet there exist myriad challenges to enacting it. Interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP) is considered foundational for promoting collaboration among healthcare students yet there is a gap in understanding how IPECP contributes to students’ professional and interprofessional identity development and…
InterprofessionalResearch.Global (IPR.Global) is dedicated to fostering leadership in interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) through innovative research and collaboration. This lightning talk will showcase the IPR.Global Summer Research Institute—a pioneering initiative designed to equip the next generation of interprofessional researchers with the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct high-quality IPECP research and lead collaborative efforts in their respective fields. The Institute represents a global collaboration, including experts from IPR.Global and four U…
The goal of this seminar is to provide attendees with a strong understanding of educational scholarship and provide them with concrete next steps for development and implementation of a scholarly project using their own research ideas. While there is no dearth of literature on interprofessional education (IPE), there is a need for rigorous IPE studies that: (1) measure effects on behaviors, organizational change, and delivery of care, (2) develop a firmer understanding of the teaching and learning processes, (3) measure the processes and products of IPE using standardized models, (4) measure…
This Lightning Talk will present recommendations from InterprofessionalResearch.Global’s e-book, "The Transformative Power of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Social Justice in Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP)," aimed at addressing healthcare inequities, racism, and biases. The principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and social justice (IDEAS) and the Quintuple Aim framework emphasize patient and provider outcomes and system efficiency. Inclusion goes beyond superficial representation by fostering environments where every voice…
