Guest - Dr. Tina Patel‑Gonaldo — expert in interprofessional education and collaborative practice; background in physical therapy and now leadership roles linking IPC with quality and health equity. Definitions, history, and core competencies IPC/IPE timeline: Although teamwork across professions has existed for decades internationally, the U.S. formally organized IPC/IPE around 2011 via the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC). IPEC's four core competencies: Values and ethics Roles and responsibilities Interprofessional communication Teams and teamwork About 31 subcompetencies/behaviors expand these domains and guide curricula and practice expectations. Distinguishing team terms (clear, memorable analogies) Multidisciplinary: Professions work in parallel on the same patient (separate evaluations/interventions; potential duplication). Analogy: Multiple people bring the same item (buns) to a potluck — little coordination. Interdisciplinary: Professionals share information and sometimes coordinate (huddles, discharge rounds) but not fully integrated planning. Analogy: People bring complementary dishes (meat, veggie) but don't coordinate quantities. Interprofessional: High coordination, co‑design with patient voice, shared mental models, equity considered across care plan. Analogy: True coordinated potluck — right quantities, varied options, side dishes, drinks, and shared goals. Why IPC matters Improves individual patient care (safer, more patient‑centered).
