Abstract
Robust demonstration of high-quality, fit-for-purpose interprofessional education (IPE) is essential for today's health professional students, staff, curricula, and regulatory bodies. As IPE moves from discrete "events" to fully embedded spirals of learning across degree programme curricula, effective mechanisms for monitoring continuous quality improvement are paramount. An accreditation tool was therefore developed for all learning activities contributing to the IPE curriculum of a university in Aotearoa New Zealand. We worked over 15 months, introducing a user-friendly tool to collect data, managing accreditation processes, and integrating with wider systems. We identified key levers to monitor, adjust, and continuously improve quality in IPE teaching and learning at individual-activity and programmatic levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
