IPC Receives National Academies of Practice’s Interprofessional Group Recognition Award
The National Academies of Practice Interprofessional Group Recognition Award is presented to a group who has made enduring contributions to interprofessional practice and education. This year the award had two recipients including the Interprofessional Professionalism Collaborative (IPC).
The IPC was established in 2006 to bring health profession organizations together to discuss what professionalism “looks like” for each of the professions represented within the group. In answering that question, the IPC members defined a new construct known as Interprofessional Professionalism and subsequently developed the Interprofessional Professionalism Assessment Instrument, various educational resources, and seminal published works. Dr. John Nishimoto, representing the Southern California College of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum and ASCO, serves as the current Chair of the IPC.
The IPC is represented by the following organizations:
- American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)
- American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM)
- American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP)
- American Dental Education Association (ADEA)
- American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA)
- American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)
- American Psychological Association (APA)
- American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)
- Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC)
- Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO)
- National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME)
