Summary
Integrating interprofessional education (IPE) throughout nursing curricula prepares future nurses for collaborative practice. This framework offers a cost-effective, accessible solution for large nursing programs facing IPE challenges.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Interprofessional Collaboration
- Healthcare Workforce Development
Background:
- Healthcare delivery is increasingly complex, necessitating effective teamwork among professionals.
- Nurses play a vital role in healthcare teams, requiring education for interprofessional collaborative practice.
- Current interprofessional education (IPE) models may be insufficient for large, geographically dispersed nursing programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline a framework for integrating interprofessional competencies into a large nursing school's curriculum.
- To present a sustainable and accessible IPE model for prelicensure nursing programs.
Main Methods:
- Integration of interprofessional competencies across the entire nursing curriculum.
- Development of a scalable and adaptable IPE framework.
Main Results:
- Successful adoption of the integrated IPE framework in a large nursing school.
- Demonstration of a cost-effective, sustainable, and accessible IPE model.
Conclusions:
- Integrating IPE throughout the curriculum is a viable strategy for preparing nurses for collaborative practice.
- The proposed framework can be adapted by other prelicensure nursing programs facing IPE implementation challenges.
