Multisource feedback in health professional education shows varied descriptions of interprofessional competencies across disciplines. Common understanding of shared skills should not be assumed for optimal training.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Collaboration
- Competency-Based Assessment
Background:
- Traditional feedback in clinical training relies on supervisors.
- Competency-based education can benefit from multiple assessor judgments.
- Interprofessional competencies for feedback may lack uniform descriptions across health disciplines.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze and compare interprofessional competencies in Canadian health professional training programs.
- To identify commonalities and differences in competency frameworks.
- To inform the development of standardized assessment criteria.
Main Methods:
- Document content analysis of educational outcomes.
- Systematic comparison of competency frameworks from seven Canadian health professions.
- Analysis of core competencies and interprofessional skills.
Main Results:
- All analyzed professions utilize core competencies.
- Communicator, collaborator, and professional competencies are common but vary in emphasis and scope.
- Evidence-based practice is widely represented but not typically classified as an interprofessional competency.
Conclusions:
- Shared understanding of interprofessional competencies across disciplines is not guaranteed.
- Discrepancies in competency descriptions necessitate further investigation.
- Exploring practical interpretation of competencies by clinicians is crucial for interprofessional training.
