New IPR Global Publication on the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on IPECP Around the Globe

The Interprofessional Research Global (IPR Global) COVID Impact Survey Group is pleased to share that an article reporting the results of  Phase 1 of the survey, The perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on interprofessional education and collaborative practice: preliminary results from phase I of a global survey, was published online by the Journal of Interprofessional Care authored by Andreas Xyrichis, Hossein Khalili, Dean Lising, Mukadder İ̇nci Baser Kolcu, Ghaidaa Najjar and Sylvia Langlois.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a sizable effect on interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) globally, yet much of the available literature on the topic remains anecdotal and locally bounded. This body of literature reflects celebratory and aspirational reports, with many case studies of successful response and perseverance under conditions of extreme pressure. There is, however, a more worrisome narrative emerging that pointed to differences in pandemic response with concerns raised about the sustainability of IPECP during and after the pandemic. The COVID-19 task force of Interprofessional Research Global (IPR Global) set out to capture the successes and challenges of the interprofessional community over the pandemic through a longitudinal survey, with a view to inform global attempts at recovery and resilience. 

In this article, we report preliminary findings from Phase 1 of the survey. Phase 1 of the survey was sent to institutions/organizations in IPR Global (representing over 50 countries from Europe, North and South America, Australia, and Africa). The country-level response rate was over 50%. Key opportunities and challenges include the abrupt digitalization of collaborative learning and practice; de-prioritization of interprofessional education (IPE); and rise in interprofessional collaborative spirit. Implications for IPECP pedagogy, research, and policy post-pandemic are considered.

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: 

https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7UlGJpmvp5RuPrv 

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,

Longitudinal Survey on the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice

IPR Global is pleased to announce the publication of its COVID-19 study protocol entitled A longitudinal survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on interprofessional education and collaborative practice in the Journal of Interprofessional Care.  The article can be accessed at the journal website: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13561820.2020.1798901

As many countries are experiencing re-opening, the impact of the pandemic on healthcare has been unprecedented. It is widely accepted that healthcare education and practice, including interprofessional education and collaborative practice, has been and will continue to be affected in profound ways. However, the severity and extent of the impact is yet to be determined and is likely to vary internationally. This study is a first in its kind to systematically and globally capture the impact of COVID-19 on interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) which will allow to identify priorities for IPECP research and development in the years to come, as well as to inform future pandemic preparedness. The data collection is conducted on a quarterly basis for a period of 12 months to capture the rapidly evolving nature of the pandemic and its impact on IPECP. 

IPR Global invites faculty/educators, students, administration, providers, and policy makers to join us in taking this anonymous longitudinal COVID-19 IPECP impact survey at:
