Invitation to Participate in Global IPE Situational Analysis Survey

Dear Interprofessional Leaders and Champions, 

On behalf of the Interprofessional.Global (Global Confederation for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice) and the InterprofessionalResearch.Global (Global Network for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Research) we would like to invite you to participate in the Phase 1 of the Global Interprofessional Education (IPE) Situational Analysis Survey. 

This survey is conducted to better understand the state of IPE at academic institutions around the world. You are invited as you have been identified as an IPE Leader/Champion at your academic institution/university who could complete the survey on behalf of your academic institution. 

If that is not the case, we would greatly appreciate it if you could please forward this post to your academic institution leadership team for their consideration. (along with the survey link:

The goal is to have this survey completed by the most appropriate individual/Center/Office who could speak to the interprofessional education program/initiatives on behalf of your academic institution whenever possible. If such an institutional-level person/Center/Office may not exist, we welcome individuals from related academic programs to work together to complete this survey on behalf of your academic institution. Your time and responses are very valuable in this effort. 

The survey involves responding to 24 questions that should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. This survey has received ethical clearance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States, and your participation in the survey is completely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. All information provided through this survey will be held in strict confidence. No names or identifying information will be linked to your survey responses. 

We would also like to request that you kindly share/forward this email to your local, regional, national or international institutional networks for wide distribution. 

We thank you in advance for your time, consideration, and assistance in this important global initiative.

Should have any question/comment and/or require additional information, please feel free to contact us at IPResearch.global@gmail.com. 

Sincerely Yours,

Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative Presents Live Webinar on Interprofessional Socialization

Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) Live Webinar

Utilizing Interprofessional Socialization as an Effective Approach Towards Creating Dual Identity 

Presenter: Dr. Hossein Khalili, the Lead of InterprofessionalResearch.Global and the Director of University of Wisconsin Centre of Interprofessional Practice and Education (UW CIPE) 

Date & Time: November 17, 2020 | 1:00 PM -2:00 PM ET

The Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) invites the global IPECP Community to join us for a live webinar presentation and Q&A with Dr. Hossein Khalili on utilizing interprofessional socialization as an effective approach towards creating dual identity among learners and practitioners. Currently, in health professional training the emphasis is still placed on uniprofessional education, in which learners of each field are socialized in isolation from those in other related professions causing the development of a uniprofessional identity in which learners share trusting and rewarding relationships with those from own profession (in-group favoritism), but would develop hostility and discrimination towards learners/ professionals outside of their own profession (out-group discrimination), as a means to enhance their self-concept. These in-group and out-group behaviours’ (or the ‘turf’ wars) along with the fear of ‘identity loss’ and the lack of understanding and knowledge of each other’s professional roles and perspectives cause the learners/professionals to resist against interprofessional collaborative practice. One effective way to address the uniprofessional identity and its challenges in education and practice is to socialize learners interprofessionally to develop dual professional and interprofessional identity, which will be discussed in this webinar.
