ACAPT representatives have been participating in the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies review & revision process.
Draft proposed 2023 revised competencies are now available from IPEC. Please check out:
In 2013, ACAPT members voted approve a motion to encourage all Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs to use the four IPEC Core Competency domains in their curriculum. The competencies included:
- Values/ethics for interprofessional practice
- Roles/responsibilities
- Interprofessional communication
- Teams & teamwork
In 2016, IPEC expanded the focus of collaborative domains by adding population health & incorporating the Triple Aim --
- improving the patient experience of care,
- improving the health of populations and
- reducing the per capita cost of health care.
