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.
