ASPPH, a founding member of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC), joins in announcing the release of the IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: Version 3. Key drivers shaping the 2023 version include the need to integrate perspectives from seven new IPEC members and a desire to reflect contemporary research, policy, education, and practice realities. Join IPEC’s webinar on Friday, December 1, 2023 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET to learn more.

Register now for the webinar to learn about the newly revised IPEC competencies, explore changes made since the April 2023 preliminary release, hear how these changes address feedback from the Interprofessional Education (IPE) community, and observe how the IPEC competencies can prepare learners for interprofessional teamwork. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the Advisory and Working Group members about the revisions and discuss the impact these revisions may have on the use of the IPEC competencies within their organizations, as well as to suggest additional resources and tools that would help with implementation into education and practice.

First published in 2011 and updated in 2016, the IPEC competencies have become an indispensable resource to advance interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP).

ASPPH has been represented in this important group by Dean Gerard Carrino (Texas Tech) who facilitated updating the communication competency and the revision of its seven sub-competencies. His co-facilitator in this work, Dr. Hector Chapa (Texas A&M), represented the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Thanks to these two leaders and the hundreds of participants engaged in the development process.
