IP Core operates as a hybrid-longitudinal model: a curriculum in which students progress through four structured stages that move from a foundational understanding of values and ethics to applied, team-based behaviors in increasingly complex settings.
Measured Development
Assessment of student learning follows a modified Kirkpatrick framework, examining:Learner reaction
Attitude change
Knowledge and skill acquisition
Demonstrated behavior change
In Stage 1, learner reaction scores averaged above 4.7 on a 5-point scale, reflecting strong engagement with foundational concepts of interprofessional collaboration
Stage 2 team competency scores averaged in the mid-4 range across communication, leadership, mutual support, and situation monitoring, indicating meaningful development of applied collaborative skills
By Stage 3, behavioral indicators of collective competence averaged above 4.2, reinforcing the curriculum’s longitudinal impact
Across Stages 1–3, students demonstrated continued growth in core collaborative competencies, including interprofessional communication, leadership, mutual support, situation monitoring, and role clarity within team environments.
One Stage 2 student reflected on their experience working in a team-based scenario:
“It did seem like people just wanted to make a difference and wanted to help… People just want to help and they just want to make the world a better place.”
Stage 1 focuses on why collaboration matters.
Stage 2 emphasizes structured skill-building.
Stage 3 advances collective competence, requiring learners to function as part of coordinated teams.
The curriculum’s design intentionally reinforces these competencies over time, recognizing that collaborative practice is strengthened through repetition, reflection, and application.
The report also outlines facilitator engagement and statewide implementation efforts that support consistency across disciplines and campuses.
The 2024–2025 outcomes reflect a continued emphasis on measurable development and intentional curriculum design.
The full annual report has been made available to our partner programs and will soon be available to the public.
