The National Interprofessional Competency Framework, created by the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC), is a useful resource for all learners (students and educators) that are hoping to gain a sound understanding of the six different competencies of interprofessional education. These competencies are well-researched and can be utilized by the educating community as important cornerstones when building and facilitating interprofessional curricula. For students, the competency framework can serve as a guide for continual growth and learning in an interprofessional practice setting. The CIHC literature review, which guided the development of the framework, can be accessed here.

The BCCH CAPE Tool is a useful tool for both students and clinical educators/practitioners who wish to reflect on and gain an understanding of their current level of comfort and ability to engage in the different interprofessional collaboration competencies.
It is a tool based on the CIHC National Competency Framework. The tool consists of a rubric that allows for individual reflection on each of the different subcomponents under the six different CIHC competencies; it is self-assessed based on a 4-point-scale. It also outlines a series of reflection questions/points for self-reflection or discussion, with regards to the different interprofessional competencies. The completion of the self-assessment will allow the user to reflect on their areas of strength and development, to help serve as a guide for further improvement in their interprofessional collaborative competencies.

The Collaborative Peer Review Process (CPRP) is an informal interprofessional learning tool, unlike more formal tools, such as collaborative clinical placements. Informal learning experiences allow students to develop more personal knowledge and perspectives on other professions.
The CPRP brings together two students from different disciplines to review a manuscript together, on the topics of healthcare policy or clinical practice; typically, health professionals would review manuscripts separately. Following this review, student participants can share their thoughts on the experience in a focus group setting.
