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.

Effects of IPE program on interprofessional socialization and dual identity development

The effects of an IPS-based IPE program on interprofessional socialization and dual identity development - Journal of Interprofessional Care

Dr. Hossein Khalili and Dr. Carole Orchard recently published a paper in the Journal of Interprofessional Care reporting on the results of his study on testing the application of his original interprofessional socialization (IPS) framework in developing dual identity among learners. In this study, an IPE program developed based on the core concepts of the IPS framework was used. More than hundred students from seven different health professions participated in the IPS-based IPE intervention program. The outcome of the quasi-experimental portion of this mixed-method study demonstrated a significant and consistent growth in dual identity among the participants. The thematic analysis revealed four themes (uniprofessional education as a barrier, IPS program as an eye-opener, learning to collaborate, and collective unified team). The integrated qualitative and quantitative findings support the application of the IPS framework in creating dual (professional and interprofessional) identity among learners.
