Title: Does IPEC have the answers?

Abstract

The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) formed in 2009 provided significant guidance to advance interprofessional collaboration in its publication of the IPEC competencies in 2011, which described Four Domains and associated competencies to address interprofessional education and practice. Its updated publication in 2016 included public health and the care of populations and clarified its intent that interprofessional collaboration is the overarching theme of the now renamed 4 Core Domains to 4 Core Competencies. These IPEC competencies have been adopted by several professional accrediting organizations representing nursing, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy and a cadre of others. Core Competency 4: Teams and Teamwork (TT) is examined during a planned workshop: “Apply relationship-building values and the principles of team dynamics to perform effectively in different team roles….”. Each sub-competency statement that supports TT is reviewed to identify the underpinnings that support their fulfillment. The workshop is presented in two sections:

  • In Section 1 the literature is presented that correlates with the sub competency statements. Though the existing literature describes structural characteristics and behavioral elements of good functioning teams, the repertoire is not collectively accessible and assimilated into a whole, but is fragmented, embedded in multiple sources. The presentation integrates the literature and describes the qualities of teams and team-members likely to be successful while getting underneath the competency statements to identify the mechanisms and dispositions that drive those competencies.
  • In Section 2. Dr. Harper facilitates a practicum that begins with the structural components of teams and then proceeds to key attributes of teams and team members. Liberating structures, a means for consensus and team building exercises, are engaged with attendee participation to demonstrate how large and small groups might learn teamwork by actively doing.
