IPEC Releases Updated Version of the Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice
The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) is pleased to announce the release of the IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: Version 3. First published in 2011 and updated in 2016, the IPEC competencies have become an indispensable resource to advance interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP). Key drivers shaping the 2023 version included the need to integrate perspectives from seven new IPEC member organizations and a desire to reflect contemporary research, policy, education, and practice realities.
“Building on coalition efforts launched over a decade ago, the 2023 IPEC competencies reinforce the dynamic relationship between interprofessional education and practice needs,” said Alison J. Whelan, MD, IPEC Executive Board Chair and AAMC Chief Education Officer. “IPEC remains deeply committed to a shared vision for a collaborative practice-ready workforce and opportunities to promote team-based care and population health. We hope that this third iteration of the IPEC competencies continue to bolster interprofessional learning experiences, health professions education, and health improvements.”
