Centre for Excellence in Interprofessional Education – CEIPE (NI): Curriculum and Assessment Development
Lead Institution: Queens University, Belfast, Director: Dr Sue Morison The Queen’s University Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, Nursing and Midwifery, Pharmacy and Education have been recognised by the Department of Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland (DELNI) as a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Interprofessional Education. CEIPE (NI) is undertaking exploratory research to identify areas of the curriculum in healthcare and other academic disciplines that will benefit from an interprofessional approach. The team will investigate how greater understanding of students’ and teachers’ learning dispositions can inform interprofessional developments in both the classroom and workplace, and how better understanding of these issues can contribute to mass higher education. The primary aim is to obtain a greater understanding of learner-teacher interaction, that will in turn inform curricular and assessment developments. The five year project will be divided into two distinct phases, with a six month interim period between them. Phase 1 will involve:
The Interim phase will include review and evaluation of Phase 1 and the provision of workshops for staff and students, and for other relevant groups as appropriate. Phase 2 will involve university-wide implementation of IPE programmes, a learning/teaching dispositions inventory, staff/student workshops, evaluation and local, national and international dissemination of findings. |
