Assessing Interprofessional Collaboration at Clinical Learning Sites: Methodology on Developing the IP-CLEAR Tool

Interprofessional Clinical Learning Environment Assessment and Reflection (IP-CLEAR) tool was developed by a team of faculty from the schools of nursing, pharmacy, and medicine at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), with the support of the North Carolina Area Health Education Consortium (NC AHEC) and the UNC-CH Office of Interprofessional Education and Practice (IPEP). The IP-CLEAR tool is intended for use by clinical sites that have or want to have clinical learners engaged and integrated into an excellent interprofessional CLE. The development of the IP-CLEAR and projections for future work are described here.
