CAIPE will prioritise research on:
- The assessment of interprofessional education and collaborative practice.
- Tools to facilitate the planning, delivery and embedding of interprofessional education, building on CAIPE’s best practice guides.
- Faculty development requirements for competent interprofessional educators in higher education institutions and practice.
- The implications for interprofessional education of the development of integrated care systems and a safe practice culture.
The research group aim to:
- To enhance CAIPE’s excellent scholarly reputation
- To capture and disseminate CAIPE’s existing interprofessional scholarship activities
- To provide a more prominent role for research and evaluation across the CAIPE membership
Through the achievement of these aims, it is anticipated that the group will help advance IPE research/evaluation activities for CAIPE and its membership.
