IPEC Core Competencies Revision Working Group

The IPEC Core Competencies Revision Working Group (WG) will serve as the key functioning unit for the review of evidence and generation of main proposals for the revision of the IPEC Core Competencies and will work alongside an Advisory Group to provide recommendations. After the project team offers their proposals and suggestions, IPEC will work with its member organizations, external collaborators, and communities of interest on eliciting additional input and feedback. The update process is slated to begin in June 2021 with a tentative release in summer/fall 2023.

The WG comprises a panel of interprofessional education and collaborative practice leaders and experts from across the nation, representing over 200 years of combined experience. The WG consists of a total of 23 members from all 22 IPEC member associations, including two active students in health professions programs. Each IPEC member Association used their own process for identifying nominees. Subsequently, the leadership of each member Association provided nominations and completed applications to the IPEC board for selection of one representative of each profession.  A list of the IPEC Core Competencies Revision WG representatives can be found below.

The WG members joined one of four workstreams as follows:

1. Gather Feedback and Experiences (whose purpose is to collect feedback from the IPEC community and IP partners throughout the entire effort)
2. Research and Literature Review (populate and organize the IPE repository in IPEC Connect, analyze published uses of the competencies, incorporate the results of the IPE scoping review, and revisit the results of HPAC DEI survey)
3. Competency Revisioning (Updatethe 2016 Core Competencies in an inclusive, participatory manner); and
4. Report Writing and Editing (Create the working outline for the revised Core Competencies, draft the 2023 Core Competencies Report, incorporate suggested edits based on internal and external recommendations, and revise and finalize the 2023 Core Competencies Revision Report)
