Dr. Brittany Daulton took the lead on a new IU IPE publication looking at an evaluation from the first few years of IU IPE's existence. Dr. Daulton is joined by IU IPE faculty Dr. Zach Weber and Dr. April D. Newton, as well as former IU IPE team members Dr. Laura Romito and Dr. Barbara Friesth on "Raising the Bar: Evolution of a Statewide Interprofessional Education Program Following a 5-Year Outcomes Evaluation."
The article looks at the first five years of IU IPE's existence and areas in which a large-scale program like IU IPE can work to improve curricula and interprofessional relationships with partner schools. Starting in 2015, IU IPE has been a leader in interprofessional practice and education, engaging approximately 20 health professions programs, 10 partnering institutions, and 8000 learners in interprofessional practice and education opportunities across Indiana during an academic year. This article looks at how an external university evaluation helped clarify IU IPE's goals, strategies, and tactics prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the steps IU IPE has already taken to accomplish these tasks.
