Abstract

Background and purpose

The need for interprofessional education (IPE) to enable effective team-based care has been well-established. This study describes IPE in family medicine residency programs and identifies barriers and facilitators to IPE implementation.

Methods

Ten survey questions addressing IPE were part of a national survey of family medicine residency program directors. Statistical analysis of survey data included chi-square analyses and descriptive statistics.

Results

The response rate was 42.18 % (286/678). Nearly 83 % of program directors agreed that IPE is essential to training competent family medicine physicians. Approximately 62 % reported learning objectives pertaining to interprofessional collaborative practice. Barriers to implementing IPE included lack of time and scheduling conflicts. Facilitators included ties with other health professions training programs and leadership support.

Conclusion

This survey demonstrated interprofessional collaborative practice as a highly valued component of family medicine training; yet shows a need for deliberately designed IPE with explicit learning objectives and competency-based assessment strategies.
