Interprofessional Teamwork Microcredential
For the purpose of establishing the Interprofessional Teamwork microcredential, demonstration of competency in this skill will be defined as:
- Able to build collaborative relationships with colleagues representing diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, with the ability to negotiate and manage conflict.
- Works effectively within a team structure comprised of individuals from different disciplines with shared values in order to provide an integrated and cohesive approach to problem solving and patient care.
