2021 IPEC Interprofessional Leadership Development Program (ILDP)

How will the events of 2020 shape the future of interprofessional education and collaborative practice?

Virtual - June 8-10, 2021

For deans and campus-wide leaders of IPE, the IPEC ILDP is a three-day, virtual professional development experience that emphasizes leading in an interprofessional environment.

2020 brought disruption to nearly every aspect of healthcare and higher education. In the U.S. alone, the number of Covid-19 cases exceeded 20 million, with the loss of life reaching into the hundreds of thousands. Hospitals, healthcare systems, and the providers who comprise them are stretched beyond capacity to meet wave after wave of patients.

The pandemic interrupted the education of millions of students around the world as higher education, often criticized for its slowness to change, transitioned to online and hybrid models of delivery. For countless businesses, higher education institutions, and families, the catastrophic economic consequences of the pandemic raise the basic question of survival.

Last year also reinforced the horrible legacy of racism in the U.S., raising the consciousness of both individual and institutional responsibility to act for social justice and equality for all. 

The impact of 2020 will be long lasting. Some disruptions will lead to permanent change in higher education and in health professions education. The 2021 IPEC Interprofessional Leadership Development Program (ILDP) will explore this impact through three lenses: the future of interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP); making the case for IPECP after the events of 2020; and human flourishing in a world with a new perspective on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

For the first time, the ILDP will take place virtually. Interactive sessions will include:

• The future of learning
• Integrating IPECP into health systems, the university, and the community
• Using scenarios to plan the future of IPECP
• The leader’s role in building coalitions and teams
• Effective practices for outcomes assessment
• Building a culture of inclusion
• Leading with the virtue of hope

In addition, the ILDP will include a personal leadership assessment and four rounds of Showcase Breakout sessions in which participants discuss models of successful IPECP.

The ILDP is for deans or those who have equivalent responsibilities and campus-wide leaders of IPE. IPEC strongly encourage these leaders to attend the ILDP together. The program includes opportunities for deans and campus-wide IPE leaders to work together on goals important to their institution.

The ILDP is facilitated by the Academy for Advancing Leadership and includes internationally recognized IPE leaders.
