16 Chapter 1 IPEC defined the following four competency areas of interprofessional collaborative practice (Figure 1.2): • Values and Ethics: Work with team members to maintain a climate of shared values, ethical conduct, and mutual respect. • Roles and Responsibilities: Use the knowledge of one’s own role and team members’ expertise to address individual and population health outcomes. • Communication: Communicate in a responsive, responsible, respectful, and compassionate manner with team members. • Teams and Teamwork: Apply values and principles of the science of teamwork to adapt one’s own role in a variety of team settings. The definition of these competencies has been of importance to health professions education. The competencies reflect the idea that interprofessional collaborative practice is essential to providing safe, excellent, equitable and client-centered care as well as improved population health outcomes. The purpose of this set of competencies is to equip students to pursue lifelong learning and collaboration with others for enhancing health outcomes.
