Format(s): Assessment/Evaluation Tool
The Dalhousie interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey (ICCAS) is a useful assessment & reflective tool for students that are hoping to compare their own interprofessional competencies pre- and post- engagement in different interprofessional learning activities. It can also be used by clinical educators to help facilitate this process with their students
The tool provides a 7-point Likert scale that allows the learner to self-assess one’s level of comfort in displaying certain aspects of interprofessionalism within the different competency categories. It also provides self-reflection questions to serve as a guide for reflection prior to and after engaging in interprofessional activities. The ICCAS is a unique assessment instrument in the field of IPE as it is one of the first validated surveys to measure the competencies of interprofessional care and incorporates a retrospective pre-test/post-test design.
