Online Course Evaluation – How it works:
We are trying a new process for course evaluations using our online course system. We hope this will ultimately provide a smoother experience for you by allowing you to access your certificate immediately after completing the course evaluation. Here is how it works:
After the live meeting ends, you will receive an email with an evaluation access code.
- Log into this online course
- Under Course Content, click “Step 1: Access Evaluation” and follow the instructions to enter the code.
- After you enter the code, you will be able to continue to the next step of the course and complete the evaluation.
- After you submit the evaluation, click Mark Complete and you will be able to download or print your certificate. The certificate will also be emailed to you as a PDF.
Inter-professional collaborative practice is an essential component in patient/client care. When a collaborative team works well together, patients tend to have better health outcomes. Unfortunately, teamwork, respect for other professions, a sense of shared ethical responsibility, and positive professional communication are not interactions that “just happen”. Most professional training happens in siloes, and thus many professionals step into the field without knowledge or experience with inter-professional collaborative practice competencies.
This workshop will provide an overview of inter-professional collaborative practice and its importance to professionals working in the field of mental health, substance misuse, and other health professions, explore the roles and responsibilities of an inter-professional team, and introduce participants to the competencies for inter-professional collaborative practice developed by the National Center for Inter-professional Collaborative Education and Practice (NEXUS – IPEC). Emphasis will be placed on the ethics and values competency of working on an inter-professional team.
Learning objectives:
Define inter-professional collaborative practice competencies & skills

Respond to professional misunderstanding, stereotyping and bias about one’s profession or discipline when working with an inter-professional collaborative team
Understand the importance of shared ethical responsibility and values among providers when working collaboratively
Learning Outcome:
- As a result of this learning activity, participants will gain competency in the practice of ethical, inter-professional collaboration
