Faculty Development for Interprofessional Education and Practice
摘要
Over the last 10 years health and social care has been delivered as an integrated team-based activity designed to meet both individual and population health and social care needs. Interprofessional education (IPE) for collaborative practice has therefore been propelled. Faculty development has a unique role in promoting IPE by addressing the barriers to learning and teaching that exist at individual and organizational levels and by equipping educators with the unique and sophisticated knowledge and skill set to design and facilitate IPE. This chapter explores the meaning and practice of interprofessional faculty development by sharing practical and evidence-guided experiences in developing and delivering IPFD programs that are underpinned by theory and based on patient and student involvement. Central to this argument is the importance of learning with, from, and about other faculty members, and learning to collaborate with colleagues, involving students and patients.
