Basic toolkit

These resources are offered as a basic toolkit to be used when implementing IPE activities.

IPE evaluation template

The IPE Centre has developed a bank of IPE evaluation items intended to assist IPE teaching teams to evaluate IPE activities. The template aims to support comparable evaluation of IPE across the Division of Health Sciences. Some of the items can be customised as needed.

The IPE evaluation template is available and ready to use on Otago inFORM http://inform.otago.ac.nz.

IPE Support Innovation Fund and Grant-in-Aid Application Form

The IPE Centre has a fund available to support the development and set-up of interprofessional student learning activities across established health professional degree programmes that are innovative, and intentionally interprofessional. This contestable grant-in-aid fund supports the growth of activities for "occasions when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and quality of care." (The Centre for the Advancement of IPE, 2002).

Applications are called for twice a year (where availability of contestable funds permits), and are reviewed by a subcommittee of the Divisional IPE Governance Group.  Factors taken into consideration when awarding grants-in-aid include, e.g. distribution of awards across campus sites and participating health professional programmes, the quality of application(s), evidence of sustainability in projects, and so on.

Next round of applications: To be advised

To read more about the innovation fund and to apply, please check the next applications date and then consult the documents below (NB: these are revised from time to time, and the current version will always be posted here):

If you have any questions, please contact IPE Centre Manager, Ashley Symes: hs.ipe@otago.ac.nz
