Interprofessional education (IPE) assessment is inherently complex and prickly. Challenges arise from the need to analyze data across diverse health professions, various levels of learners, numerous learning environments (e.g. classroom, simulation, clinical practice) and in contexts where competence in teams and teamwork, rather than individual performance, are the focus of evaluation. This complexity is compounded by the wide range of learning activities used to meet interprofessional competencies and the substantial time required for faculty to meaningfully review large volumes of data. At our institution, post-activity evaluations are collected for every IPE event, each of which includes rich qualitative responses. To manage this data efficiently and ensure its alignment with program outcomes, we piloted several AI tools to assist in the identification of themes and patterns across student feedback. Through this process, we developed a scalable method for analyzing qualitative data, mapping findings to interprofessional competencies, and creating visual summaries that support program evaluation and improvement. Intentional formatting of assessment outputs allow for the dissemination of data to vested partners, supporting accreditation, ensuring accountability for interprofessional learning outcomes, and informing curricular improvements that facilitate the transition of learners from education to interprofessional practice. In this session, we will share our process, tools, and lessons learned in hopes that others may adapt this approach to support their own IPE assessment efforts.
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to…
1. Identify common challenges of assessing interprofessional education evaluation data across multiple professions, learner levels, and learning environments.
2. Describe a practical, AI-assisted process for analyzing qualitative evaluation data and aligning findings with interprofessional program outcomes.
3. Discuss benefits and risks of utilizing AI-assessed processes for analyzing qualitative data.
Accreditation Details
In support of improving patient care, this activity is planned and implemented by The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education Office of Interprofessional Continuing Professional Development (National Center OICPD). The National Center OICPD is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
As a Jointly Accredited Provider, the National Center is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved under this program. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. The National Center maintains responsibility for this course. Social workers completing this course receive continuing education credits.
The National Center OICPD (JA#: 4008105) is approved by the Board of Certification, Inc. to provide continuing education to Athletic Trainers (ATs).
This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credit for learning and change.
