Below are interprofessional education (IPE) assessment and measurement tools recommended by ACAPT's National Interprofessional Education Consortium (NIPEC).  We encourage individual members of  ACAPT member institutions to join NIPEC for free.

Continuing education

Preceptors in the NEXUS toolkit - includes faculty development modules/materials. NIPEC particularly recommends:

• Preceptor as Learner - blue modules I-V
• Preceptor as Interprofesional Educator - green module I + education tools
• Practice transformation tools (preceptor as interprofessional champion)
• Note: To access many of these NEXUS faculty/preceptor development resources, you must first create a free account or become a member for free.

Center for Medical Simulation - focuses on effective simulation debriefing, but principles can be applied to a variety of situations (e.g. classroom discussion, practical exams, general conversations, etc). NIPEC highly recommends:

• Comprehensive instructor workshop 
• Gateway debriefing skills workshop
• Debriefing resources (*note the JW Rudolph article is a valuable introduction to debriefing for any faculty person).
