Survey Population 7 Allied Health Nine Departments Dentistry DDS and Dental Hygiene Medicine MD and non-MD students Nursing BSN, MSN, PhD Pharmacy All students enrolled in clinical degree programs on VCU’s Health Science Campus

Results: completed surveys Overall response rate: 14.9% Response rate by School:  Allied Health – 4.1%  Dentistry – 7.0%  Medicine – 25.4%  Nursing – 7.8%  Pharmacy – 26.3% 8

Factor Analysis and Reliability Four domains:  accounted for 79% of the variance in responses  aligned with four IPEC domains Overall scale reliability: α=.99 Reliability by domain  Values and Ethics: α =.98  Roles: α =.95  Communication: α =.95  Teamwork: α =.97 9

Domain differences remain. No significant differences between years

No significant differences

Final Thoughts Our IPEC competency measure helps structure curriculum. Is lack of change between years a result of the measure, the assessment process, the curriculum, or the educational dose? Our goal: educate populations of learners  benefit community health 26
