“…15 Meeting societal health care needs will require both the reengineering of current practice models and the redesign of the interprofessional clinical learning environment for aspiring health care professionals. While literature describing the importance of interprofessional education (IPE) in experiential education is emerging, 16 research is needed to better understand how to align practice and education opportunities so that innovative models of interprofessional experiential education can be successfully implemented and sustained. This, in turn, will support the development of a health care workforce well-prepared to function collaboratively in the care of patients and move us one step closer to transforming interprofessional practice.…”

Objective. To identify key themes of interprofessional models of care that offer experiential education opportunities for pharmacy learners. Methods. Six pharmacists from four Area Health Education Centers in North Carolina participated in individual, 60-minute interviews. Using two pre-established frameworks, the data were analyzed qualitatively by two members of the research team to identify the characteristics of interdisciplinary care teams.Results. At the level of the organization or health care system, the theme of appropriate resources and procedures emerged. At the level of the team, the themes of appropriate resources and procedures, communication, appropriate skill mix, climate, quality and outcomes of care, and respecting and understanding roles emerged. At the level of the individual, the themes of communication, respecting and understanding roles, and individual characteristics emerged. Three themes identified in a previous study failed to emerge in the interviews: leadership and management; personal rewards, training and development; and clarity of vision. Conclusion.Although a growing body of evidence highlights the importance of designing practice models to achieve interdisciplinary care that is patient-centered and effective, capacity to support learners and effectively educate them in the principles and practices of team-based care is limited. This study provides critical insight into characterizations of interprofessional models that integrate pharmacy learners. Further research is needed to better understand the barriers to designing and implementing IPE in experiential settings.
