Abstract

Objective: 

This scoping review will identify, characterize, and classify co-curricular interprofessional education activities and practices.

Introduction: 

According to the World Health Organization, interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with one another to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. As such, interprofessional education is imperative to health professions education. Globally, competency frameworks and guidelines have urged educators to reach consensus about interprofessional education terminology and to integrate this form of education into formal curricula. Voluntary interprofessional education that takes place outside formal curricula (ie, co-curricular) is frequently used to overcome well-documented barriers (eg, discordant academic calendars). We will explore the global literature to identify, characterize, and classify published examples of co-curricular interprofessional education activities.

Inclusion criteria: 

This review will consider voluntary interprofessional education involving students from at least two different health professions. These education activities will take place outside the formal curriculum and will not result in transcript designation.

Methods: 

The search strategy will aim to locate primary studies from peer-reviewed journals indexed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, ERIC, and Academic Search Complete. The results will be limited to English-language publications from 2009 until the present. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts, and potentially relevant papers will be assessed in detail. Data will be extracted using a tool developed by the reviewers. Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize the data, which will be presented in diagrammatic, tabular, or other relevant formats.

Introduction

Interprofessional education (IPE) efforts have occurred across the globe, spanning Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States (US), among other countries.1-4 The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that interprofessional education occurs when “students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.”5(p.10) According to national guidance jointly developed by the US-based Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative and the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (National Center), adopting unified terminology, such as the WHO definition, is crucial to the development of quality IPE.6 The Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative and the National Center also recommend the development of a shared understanding of IPE terminology, learning, and measurement to ensure more uniform expectations about the development, implementation, and evaluation of quality IPE.

In 2009, professional associations representing US colleges and schools throughout the health professions formed the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) to advance substantive interprofessional learning experiences.7 The founding IPEC associations represented allopathic and osteopathic medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and public health. These associations created core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice to guide curriculum development across health professions schools. IPEC has grown to include 21 members. Its mission is to ensure that health professionals are proficient in the competencies essential for patient-centered, community- and population-oriented, interprofessional collaborative practice. A national competency framework from the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative has guided efforts in Canada, while other countries have developed their own national approaches to advance IPE.1,2

Linking Interprofessional Networks for Collaboration is the IPE-focused Quality Enhancement Plan developed by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio).8 Primary goals include increasing IPE knowledge and skills of faculty, staff, and students as well as integrating IPE activities into program curricula and increasing opportunities for student IPE experiences. Having observed local trends emphasizing voluntary IPE that takes place outside the formal curriculum, we will explore the international literature for examples of IPE activities to guide our understanding and shape our approach to IPE development.

Many academic institutions provide voluntary IPE experiences for their learners. According to Stetten et al.,9 service learning is almost always a voluntary activity and, therefore, co-curricular. These activities provide access to care for diverse populations and focus on numerous topics. Most co-curricular IPE (CC-IPE) activities connect service learning with health disparities and inequities, constituting unique learning experiences.10 These IPE experiences enable health professional students to learn more about under-served populations and patients, particularly in relation to social determinants of health.10-12 Commonly referred to as “extracurricular,” these IPE activities can be easily misconstrued in terms of the important role they play in the professional development of students. More specifically, IPE can be devalued13 if it is labeled with the same terminology used to describe activities that are less intimately bound with the professional development of students (eg, voluntary participation in charitable fundraisers or intramural sports).

To address this issue, we assembled a team of faculty and staff advocates who had experience developing voluntarily completed IPE at UT Health San Antonio to explore the question, “How should institutions define IPE activities outside the required curriculum to add value to the professional development of learners and help them achieve IPE competencies?” We then developed a search strategy around this definition, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR)14 guidelines to identify, characterize, and classify examples from the peer-reviewed published literature.

As IPE efforts continue to gain momentum, many accrediting bodies for health professions, including dentistry, medicine, and nursing, have integrated IPE into their standards, and have either mandated or strongly encouraged the incorporation of IPE into the curriculum of those professional schools.15-19 Other drivers of IPE include the US-based National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) and the development of consensus about IPE-related competencies, such as the reports published by the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative and IPEC.7,20-22 The IPEC core competencies have become a universal goal for learners across the health professions.7 Many academic institutions have begun to build and enhance infrastructure to support these IPEC core competencies. This has been reflected in opportunities both within and outside credit-bearing coursework or other programs that are typically documented on students’ official transcripts.

In recent years, health professions accreditors have begun using the term “co-curricular” to distinguish between activities that augment the professional development of health professions learners in concert with curricular goals and those that do not.15 Currently, there is no universally accepted definition of these activities. We believe that the term “co-curricular IPE” is preferable to “extracurricular IPE” because the latter may unintentionally diminish the value of these activities. We define CC-IPE activities as opportunities that augment learners’ professional development but do not result in a transcript designation, are not part of the formal curriculum, and are purely voluntary. Importantly, we have observed that an IPE activity can be mandated as a course requirement (and thus be transcripted) for one cohort of students, but remain a voluntary activity (and thus not be transcripted) for another cohort of students. Therefore, our definition is applied from the perspective of the student. We leave the term “extracurricular” to refer to activities that are voluntary but do not directly influence interprofessional collaborative practice knowledge acquisition and/or skill development.

Internationally, the field of IPE would benefit from exploring the literature to identify examples that meet our definition. This scoping review will identify, characterize, and classify examples of CC-IPE activities. A preliminary search of MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO, JBI Evidence Synthesis, and the JBI Systematic Review Register was conducted. No current or in-progress scoping reviews or systematic reviews on the topic were identified.

In summary, this scoping review will identify literature on CC-IPE activities published in English-language journals. It will offer clarity in an important field of education that currently lacks consensus in its terminology. This will not only improve our existing IPE activities but will also yield information that we will disseminate to inform others locally, nationally, and internationally.

Review questions

  • i) What does the literature on CC-IPE reveal in terms of participants, settings, and topics addressed?
  • ii) What student learning outcomes have been measured in CC-IPE, and what methods and tools have been used?
  • iii) Which IPEC competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice have been targeted in the development and implementation of CC-IPE?

Inclusion criteria

Participants

This review will consider studies that include learners from at least two different health professions involved in CC-IPE activities, where at least one cohort represented pre-licensure students (eg, medical, nursing, pharmacy) who participated voluntarily. We will consider activities that were not transcripted and, most importantly, were based on the individual student's circumstances/experience, not the setting, as CC-IPE activities. All settings will be included, for example, didactic (ie, classroom), simulation, and clinical learning environments.

Concept

This review will consider peer-reviewed studies that explore the concept of CC-IPE in health professions education. Co-curricular IPE activities will be defined as opportunities that augment learners’ professional development but do not result in a transcript designation, are not part of the formal curriculum, and are purely voluntary. Included articles will be classified to summarize characteristics such as targeted IPE competencies, types of learners, settings, topics, and author-reported learning outcomes.

Context

Settings that house CC-IPE activities are hubs of innovation. All manner of IPE activities have been, and can be, first piloted in co-curricular settings. Co-curricular IPE activities augment learners’ professional development as well as their knowledge and skill acquisition. This scoping review will consolidate key information about CC-IPE activities. The information can then be used to guide educators globally to strengthen the development and implementation of CC-IPE.

Types of sources

This scoping review will consider quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs published in peer-reviewed journals. Reviews, surveys, and opinion papers will not be considered, and a gray literature search will not be conducted.

Methods

The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews.23

Search strategy

The search strategy will aim to locate published primary studies from peer-reviewed journals. An initial limited search of MEDLINE was undertaken to identify articles on the topic. The text words contained in the titles and abstracts of relevant articles, and the index terms used to describe the articles, were used to develop a full search strategy for MEDLINE via PubMed (see Appendix I). The search strategy, including all identified keywords and index terms, will be adapted for each included information source. The reference lists of articles included in the review will be screened for additional papers.

Articles published from 2009 to the present will be considered. This is because 2009 was the year of IPEC's inception in the US, marking a nationwide structured interest in IPE throughout the health professions.7 Only English-language publications will be considered due to the language limitations of the reviewers.

The databases to be searched include MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), Scopus, ERIC (EBSCO), and Academic Search Complete. No relevant publications were found during the preliminary searches of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, JBI Evidence Synthesis, and the JBI Systematic Review Register. Therefore, these databases will be excluded.

Study selection

Following the search, all identified records will be collated and uploaded into EndNote v.X9 (Clarivate Analytics, PA, USA) and duplicates removed. Titles and abstracts will then be screened by two independent reviewers against the inclusion criteria for the review. Potentially relevant papers will be retrieved in full and their citation details imported into Rayyan (Qatar Computing Research Institute, Doha, Qatar). The full text of selected citations will be assessed in detail against the inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers. Reasons for exclusion of full-text papers that do not meet the inclusion criteria will be recorded and reported in the scoping review. Any disagreements that arise between the reviewers at each stage of the selection process will be resolved with a third reviewer. The results of the search will be reported in full in the final scoping review and presented in a PRISMA flow diagram.24

Data extraction

Data will be extracted by a calibrated independent reviewer using a data extraction tool developed by the reviewers (see Appendix II). The extracted data will include specific details, such as topic, setting, types of students involved, method and tools used to measure student learning outcomes, and IPEC competencies. The draft data extraction tool will be modified and revised as necessary during the process of extracting data from each included paper. Modifications will be detailed in the full scoping review. A second independent reviewer will verify the accuracy of the extracted data. If necessary, a third independent reviewer will adjudicate unresolved discrepancies between the two reviewers.

Data analysis and presentation

Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize the extracted data, which will be presented in a manner that aligns with the objective of this scoping review. We anticipate posters and oral presentations at regional, national, and international meetings that will include diagrammatic, tabular, and other visual representations of data to support the narrative descriptions. Our team also anticipates publication of analyses based on extracted data.
