Objectives:
A proliferation of articles describe the importance of interprofessional education (IPE) in promoting a collaborative practice-ready workforce. As pharmacy programs implement, develop, and assess impactful IPE activities and experiences in their didactic and experiential curricula, it is important to consider various IPE frameworks and accreditation expectations. This article aims to elucidate best practices for high-quality IPE by taking into account the recently released 2022 Curriculum Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities, 2023 Interprofessional Education Collaborative Competencies, and 2025 Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards.
Findings:
Multiple factors were identified as important considerations for building and sustaining effective IPE programs, including (1) institutional readiness, (2) institutional culture, (3) infrastructure, (4) financial considerations, (5) faculty development, (6) curricular programming, and (7) outcomes assessment. Evidence supports these factors as best practices for quality IPE and articulates how these elements can be used to mitigate challenges and/or barriers experienced in developing, implementing, and advancing IPE.
Summary:
Equipping learners with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to work effectively as part of an interprofessional team is key to developing a collaborative practice-ready pharmacy workforce. The 2023 Interprofessional Education Collaborative Competencies, which serve as a consensus framework to advance IPE, informed the development of the interprofessional collaboration elements in the 2022 Curriculum Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities and 2025 Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards. Individual programs should leverage best practices related to institutional considerations, curricular development, and assessment to establish successful IPE programs.
