Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students engage with Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies during experiential rotations. Advanced rotations enhance interprofessional engagement, with inpatient settings highlighting different competencies than outpatient settings.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Interprofessional Healthcare
- Competency-Based Education
Background:
- Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs/APPEs) offer interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities in Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs.
- Alignment of these experiences with competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice remains under-investigated.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the alignment of student reflections from pharmacy experiential rotations with the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 1360 Interprofessional Education (IPE) surveys from PharmD students completing experiential rotations (June 2017-August 2019).
- Assessment of interprofessional interactions and alignment of student reflections with IPEC competencies.
Main Results:
- Survey responses mapped to IPEC competencies: Values/Ethics (25%), Roles/Responsibilities (48%), Interprofessional Communication (36%), and Teams/Teamwork (48%).
- Inpatient rotations showed greater alignment with Roles/Responsibilities and Teams/Teamwork compared to outpatient rotations.
- Active engagement with other health professions increased from IPPEs to APPEs.
Conclusions:
- PharmD students engage with IPEC competencies throughout their experiential curriculum.
- Inpatient and outpatient rotations emphasize different IPEC competencies.
- Advanced pharmacy rotations more effectively facilitate active interprofessional engagement.
