Summary
Health professional education needs to shift towards interprofessional socialization (IPS) to foster collaborative practice. A new framework supports developing a dual identity, crucial for interprofessional collaborative person-centred practice (IPCPCP).
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Social Psychology in Healthcare
Background:
- Uniprofessional identity in health professions education hinders interprofessional collaborative person-centred practice (IPCPCP).
- A lack of conceptual frameworks impedes effective interprofessional socialization (IPS).
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a conceptual framework to guide interprofessional socialization (IPS).
- To facilitate the development of a dual identity in health professions students, promoting interprofessional collaborative person-centred practice (IPCPCP).
Main Methods:
- Integration of social identity theory and intergroup contact theory.
- Development of a dual identity model for interprofessional socialization (IPS).
Main Results:
- The proposed framework illuminates the interprofessional socialization (IPS) process.
- It provides a foundation for educators to foster dual identities in students.
Conclusions:
- Shifting educational focus to interprofessional socialization (IPS) is essential for effective collaborative practice.
- A dual identity model can guide curriculum development to overcome uniprofessional barriers and promote interprofessional collaborative person-centred practice (IPCPCP).
