Reforming Payment Systems to Advance Interprofessional Team-based Care
Background/ContextAs healthcare continues to evolve, payment mechanisms play a critical role in shaping care delivery models. A key transformation in this landscape is the shift from traditional fee-for-service models to value-based care—an approach designed to improve patient outcomes, optimize resource utilization, and promote long-term system sustainability. Central to this shift is the alignment of payment models with interprofessional, team-based care, which emphasizes…

Translating IPEC Competencies into Practice: The LEGO Interprofessional Seminar Series for the Current Healthcare Workforce
Introduction:Despite the widespread endorsement of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies and broad implementation of trainee-focused events, structured opportunities for the current healthcare workforce to deepen interprofessional skills are limited. To address this gap, our academic health center developed the Learning and Education in Group Opportunities (LEGO)—a monthly interprofessional seminar series designed to reinforce and apply IPEC competencies in…

What Do I Do with All This Data?!
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…

Advancing Oral Health Equity Through Increased Awareness of Healthcare Provider Stigma Among Dental Professional Learners Through Interprofessional Collaboration and Community & Patient Engagement
Healthcare provider stigma is a systemic barrier to equitable care and widens healthcare disparities. 20-50% of persons living with HIV do not access the oral health services they need. Research shows healthcare professionals who hold stigmatizing attitudes towards PLWHA commonly manifest it in clinical encounters. Interprofessional collaborative, community, and patient engagement educational interventions help shape the attitudes and behaviors of the future oral healthcare professional…

Ai-powered Assessment in IPE: Using Large Language Models to Enhance Reflection, Rubrics, and Real-world Relevance
Abstract:As Interprofessional Education (IPE) evolves to meet the complex needs of collaborative healthcare, educators are challenged to assess student learning in ways that are meaningful, consistent, and scalable. This interactive seminar explores how artificial intelligence (AI)—particularly large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot—can be applied to enhance IPE assessment processes. This includes streamlining rubric development, evaluation of student…

An Innovative Legislative-practice-education Partnership to Address Team-based Workforce Development in Rural Communities
Background and Purpose: The North Carolina General Assembly recently enacted Session Law 2023-134. This legislation provided funding to the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program (NC-AHEC) to develop and implement five Rural Interprofessional Clinical Teaching Hubs (Teaching Hubs) incorporating two of more professions across the state. The purpose of this Lightening Talk is to describe a four-way collaboration between the North Carolina legislature, NC-AHEC, community-based…

Competence as an Asymptote: The Importance of Developing Reflective Learners
Description and conference theme alignment - This seminar will allow for dialogue surrounding the premise of competence as an asymptote, allowing presenters and participants to safely share their points of view with regard to the need for a shift from strictly competency-based interprofessional education to the notion of developing reflective learners as a priority. Reflective practices provide insights into learners' development as interprofessional team members, enabling faculty to support…

Designing IPE Academic Graduation Honors Criteria for Associate Through Post-professional Doctorate Students
This lightening talk will discuss the development of interprofessional education (IPE) honor cords for students from the associate to doctoral level at St. Catherine University. St. Catherine University interprofessional education functions as part of the Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Learning (I-SAIL). While IPE has a department, because it is not a formal major or minor, it has historically been difficult to raise awareness around student accomplishments and to retain and…

Developing Allied Health Interprofessional Collaborative Practice Capability
A description of the Lightning talk: Interprofessional collaborative practice models of healthcare are required to best meet the complex needs of contemporary patients and clients. Allied health professionals are integral to these models, and are a unique group deserving of explicit focus because of the way they come from varied origins, comprise many professions, work in many groupings and have relatively flat hierarchical structures, as distinct to other heath professions. The…
