Achieving the Optimal Interprofessional Clinical Learning Environment: Proceedings from an NCICLE Symposium
The National Collaborative for Improving the Clinical Learning Environment (NCICLE) released the complete proceedings of its 2017 national symposium on enhancing the interprofessional clinical learning environment (IP-CLE). The proceedings, developed by an NCICLE work group representing a diverse set of symposium participants, serve as a catalyst to stimulate new ideas and approaches to viewing the clinical learning environment as a shared responsibility.

The proceedings summarize conversations and activities from the 2-day symposium that focused on the following:

  • The value of IP-CLEs
  • Characteristics of high-functioning IP-CLEs
  • The role of leaders in macro, meso, and micro environments of health care in supporting high functioning IP-CLEs
  • The role of national stakeholders – today and in the future – in optimizing conversations, practices and structures that will enhance interprofessional learning in the context of patient care.
