Impact

The pandemic highlighted the crucial role of collaboration in care and health. The Centre is dedicated to exploring and advancing meaningful metrics for the field of collaborative healthcare and education. How we define impact affects what ‘counts’ and what we measure – and can either constrain or broaden our focus and endeavours as collaborative educators, leaders, scholars, teams, and organizations.

Building upon the work of its team members, the Centre will mobilize innovative and meaningful approaches to evaluate changes in ways of seeing, being, and doing. Capturing how individuals see, talk, and act differently as a result of engagement with the Centre (e.g. through the IPE curriculum, professional development, exposure to research and scholarship) can demonstrate important growth toward our Aspirations.  

The Centre will continue to build on this track-record of scholarship and its strengths in developmental evaluation, transformative education impacts, and attending to patient/client and family voice, to allow nuanced understandings of how, for whom, and why change initiatives in complex or uncertain environments work.

We will share stories of impact via our new magazine (previously our newsletter) where we will also invite members in our local, national, and international collaborative healthcare and education communities to share their impacts.
