Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice

Report of an Expert Panel May 2011

This report is inspired by a vision of interprofessional collaborative practice as key to the safe, high quality, accessible, patient-centered care desired by all. The intent was to build on each profession’s expected disciplinary competencies in defining competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice. These disciplinary competencies are taught within the professions.

Health professionals for a new century: transforming education to strengthen health systems in an interdependent world_{(November 2010)}

A Lancet Commission highlights a call from 20 professional and academic leaders from diverse countries, for major reform in the training of doctors and other healthcare professionals for the 21st century. The Commission adopted a global outlook, a multiprofessional perspective, and a systems approach.

Among the series of specific recommendations for reform, the Commission includes the adoption of competency-driven approaches to instructional design; the promotion of Interprofessional and Transprofessional education that breaks down professional silos while enhancing collaborative and non-hierarchical relationships in effective teams; and the exploitation of the power of information technology for learning.

The Commission calls for a new professionalism that uses competencies as objective criteria for classification of health professionals and that develops a common set of

values around social accountability.
