1. Planning and Assessing Curricula Using a Campuswide Measure of Interprofessional Competency Alan Dow, MD, MSHA Director, Center for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Care

2. Funding and Disclosures • Funding from the Josiah H. Macy Jr Foundation as a Macy Faculty Scholar and from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation • Collaborators: Sharon Lanning, Deborah DiazGranados, Kelly Lockeman, Paul Mazmanian, Moshe Feldman, Jessica Evans, and many, many other faculty

3. Objectives • Describe an approach to using the IPEC competencies to assess interprofessional outcomes • Apply findings from a campuswide survey of IPEC competencies to curriculum development • Consider how to link individual learning experiences with overarching interprofessional competencies

4. Healthcare • System Community/Population Interprofessional Care Delivery Berwick DM et al. (2009). Health Affairs.

5. Interprofessional Collaborative Practice Competencies Roles/ Responsibilities (n = 9) Inter- professional Communication (n = 8) Values/ Ethics (n = 10) Teams and Teamwork (n = 11) Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel. (2011).

6. 38 original IPEC competencies 1 competency omitted 32 competencies converted directly into items 5 Items split into 10 items 42 items comprise the final questionnaire All items given stems and assigned to 5 point Likert scale

7. Survey Population • All students enrolled in clinical degree programs on VCU’s Health Science Campus Dentistry DDS and Dental Hygiene Allied Health Nine Departments Pharmacy Medicine MD and non-MD students Nursing BSN, MSN, PhD

8. Results: 2012 • 481 completed surveys • Overall response rate: 14.9% • Response rate by School: • Allied Health – 4.1% • Dentistry – 7.0% • Medicine – 25.4% • Nursing – 7.8% • Pharmacy – 26.3%

9. Factor Analysis and Reliability • Four domains: • accounted for 79% of the variance in responses • aligned with four IPEC domains • Overall scale reliability: α=.99 • Reliability by domain • Values and Ethics: α =.98 • Roles: α = .95 • Communication: α = .95 • Teamwork: α = .97

22. Domain differences remain. No significant differences between years

23. No significant differences

24. No significant differences

26. Final Thoughts • Our IPEC competency measure helps structure curriculum. • Is lack of change between years a result of the measure, the assessment process, the curriculum, or the educational dose? • Our goal: educate populations of learners  benefit community health
