Interprofessional education: a unique approach to addressing the challenges of student assessment.

This article describes one approach for IP-Assessment, using a complex theory framework and based on an iterative cycle of developing, implementing, and evaluating a student assessment tool within an international IP placement, which could be utilized in a range of settings. A qualitative research approach explores the strengths, challenges, and outcomes of IP-Assessment from the perspective of the supervisors. Three overarching themes were identified: acknowledging the student journey, interprofessional authenticity, and collective and collaborative learning. The process of developing and implementing IP-Assessment enabled the articulation of placement and assessment priorities and provided learning opportunities for both supervisors and students.
