Adams, Benjamin Chesluk, Catherine Grus, Neil Harvison, Kathy McGuinn, Luke Mortensen, John H. Psychometric results demonstrate aspects of the IPA’s reliability and validity and its use across multiple health professions and in various practice sites.
The psychometric properties of the IPA were tested with preceptors from 10 different health professions in seeking to support its generalizability. It can be completed at the end of a practice experience (e.g., rotation) in environments where interprofessional, collaborative care of patients is required. The IPA instrument is a 26-item observational rating tool used by faculty / preceptors to assess learners’ professionalism when working with members of other health professions.
The Interprofessional Professionalism Assessment (IPA) instrument was designed to measure interprofessional professionalism (IPP), which is defined as the “Consistent demonstration of core values evidenced by professionals working together, aspiring to, and wisely applying principles of altruism and caring, excellence, ethics, respect, communication, and accountability to achieve optimal health and wellness in individuals and communities.” The IPA was created over a 9-year period through extensive development and pilot testing by the Interprofessional Professionalism Collaborative (IPC), which is a national organization with representatives from 12 entry-level health professions and the National Board of Medical Examiners.
