Summary
This bibliometric study analyzed global interprofessional education (IPE) research over 20 years. Pharmacy
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Bibliometrics
- Interprofessional Education (IPE)
Background:
- Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for collaborative healthcare.
- Understanding global research trends and disciplinary contributions is essential for advancing IPE.
- Pharmacy's role in IPE research requires specific evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess global research output on interprofessional education (IPE) from 1998 to 2018.
- To evaluate the contributions of pharmacy and other healthcare disciplines to IPE literature.
- To analyze the scope of IPE research, including settings, curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from Web of Science, PubMed, and specialized pharmacy journals.
- Systematic content analysis of retrieved articles.
- Data retrieval and analysis conducted up to January 31, 2019.
Main Results:
- A significant exponential increase in IPE publications was observed from 2010 to 2017.
- Medicine (41.2%) and nursing (36.2%) were the leading disciplines, with pharmacy contributing 9.0%.
- The United States (27%), Canada (17.5%), and the UK (16.1%) led IPE publications, with diverse settings, pedagogy, and assessments being key research areas.
Conclusions:
- IPE research has grown substantially, with medicine and nursing dominating the field.
- Pharmacy's contribution to IPE research is notable but smaller compared to leading disciplines.
- Future research should explore diverse IPE settings, pedagogical approaches, and assessment strategies.

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

01:01Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters
98
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

3.1K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

Pharmaceutical products contain more than just the active drug; they also contain various excipients such as binders, solubilizers, stabilizers, preservatives, and other elements. In some cases, impurities or contaminants might be present. Traditionally, quality control in pharmaceuticals has primarily focused on the analysis of the active drug, often overlooking the impact of these additional components. The recent issue with heparin contamination by over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, a...

01:25Pharmacokinetics: Drug–Drug Interactions
275
Drug interactions occur when the pharmacological effect of one drug is altered by another substance, either enhancing or diminishing its activity. The drug whose activity is altered is known as the object drug, and the substance causing the alteration is called the agent drug or the precipitant. The net effects of these interactions are mostly undesirable, leading to decreased effectiveness or increased adverse effects. In rare cases, interactions can be beneficial, such as the enhanced...

01:15Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models
219
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...
