IPR Global Pearls: The Transformative Power of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Social Justice in Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice - Joint E-Book Discussion Paper​

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare and education, the principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Social Justice have emerged as guiding beacons for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP). We recognize that these foundational elements are not mere buzzwords, they are the pillars upon which our collective impact rests. In this Discussion Paper, we unravel the significance of inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and social justice in shaping a more compassionate, equitable, and effective healthcare ecosystem.

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 

REGISTRATION LINK

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.
