To mitigate these barriers, an interprofessional, multi-institutional team gathered data on the utility of an IPE checklist designed to assist educators evaluate the quality, value, and relevance of interprofessional resources and educational materials. A convergent, mixed method design was used to collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data in parallel. Findings demonstrate the IPE checklist has real-world application and substantive evidence for evaluating IPE activities regardless of experience and expertise and the practical issues encountered. In conclusion, the IPE checklist can contribute to the evaluation of the quality of IPE activities and enhance the education of trainees who will ultimately deliver care to patients and populations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interprofessional Education and Practice","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100717"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141607344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the 34 students who participated in AIPEC 2022, responses were obtained from 24 (70.6 % response rate). Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive including positive agreement in all four AITCS-II subscales (partnership, coordination, cooperation and teamworking). Free text comments further endorse the event as a positive, collaborative student learning opportunity.
