The Partnered Learning Project
IPE Toolkit:
A Toolkit to Assist in the Planning and Implementation of an Interprofessional Education Program for Healthcare Students
Introduction
The Partnered Learning Project was an 18-month research study with the purpose of enhancing the interprofessional collaboration capacity of both staff and students in healthcare settings. This IPE Toolkit focuses specifically on the adaptation and development of IPE learning activities for healthcare students on placement with interprofessional healthcare teams. This Toolkit reflects the practices and lessons that emerged from PLP placements which took place in paediatric healthcare facilities that had not previously provided student placements with a focused IPE learning program.
The development of the IPE activities reflected in this toolkit was grounded in the well documented IPE curriculum emerging from the University of Toronto – Office of IPE. It is recommended that users of this IPE Toolkit download the original curriculum, Facilitating Interprofessional Clinical Learning to use in conjunction with this Toolkit. The link is provided below. To avoid confusion, hereafter we will refer to the original curriculum document as “the manual”. The icon

This IPE Toolkit focuses on the resources, activities, monitoring and evaluation tools used to support the introduction of IPE placements in a paediatric, teaching hospital setting. The material in this Toolkit is organized under the following four broad headings, as appropriate to the subject: process, adaptation or development of materials, lessons learned, and ongoing challenges.
