HOW DO I USE THE IPC ON THE RUN MODULES?

The IPC on the Run program uses a modular approach that in-

tegrates online and face-to-face learning as a way of facilitating the

structural integration of interprofessional education into a wide

range of learning environments. The online components of the pro-

gram provide quality content, while helping users reduce some of

the scheduling and logistical problems that come with training busy

practitioners and learners from different professions. The program

integrates face-to-face activities as a means of engaging learners,

promoting reflection, and strategically planning ways to improve

practice. The program starts with an introductory module that

should be completed before learners can access the other modules

in the program. This module can be completed independently. Sub-

sequent modules each focus on a different interprofessional com-

petency domain and integrate online and face-to-face learning.

Learners need to complete the interactive, face-to-face components

of these modules as part of a group, ideally with participants from

two or more professions.
