Integration of INTERPROF in the existing organization at H-Fac will ensure solid organizational anchors (Appendix 6). The establishment of the Centre will however depend on funding from NOKUT and could be operative as soon as allocation of funding is settled. Man Wolff Skaalvik will serve as the Centre manager. There will be a leader and co-leader for each of the three working groups. Study programme leaders and student representatives from participating programs will form the working groups together with representatives from the consortium participants. The three consortium participants will set up a governance structure which will be in place when the project starts. A steering committee with members from the consortium partners, students, and the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS) will be established for 5 years and report to the Faculty Board and NOKUT. The steering committee will give overall guidelines for the three working groups. The working group leaders report to the Steering committee through the Centre manager. An advisory board will be established with members from our three international collaborating institutions (Appendix 6). Describe briefly the aims and current as well as planned activities of the centre (maximum 1500 characters) With our Consortium participants and together with internationally leading educational institutions in this field, we will develop, implement and evaluate a three-component longitudinal IP-curriculum. Already conducted: INTER-BASE: (first year: 10 ECTS) A mandatory, introductory course for all 650 first year students across ten professional study programmes. The course is based on an on-line curriculum, allowing dissemination to other institutions. Research and evaluation has been initiated/is in progress Future plans: INTER-PRAX: (near-final /final year: two weeks) - will train students in interprofessional clinical learning situations in hospitals, nursing homes or in the municipalities.The following IPE-activities will be planned: a) Interprofessional clinical practice in various clinical placements, b) University nursing home, c) Patient pathway from hospital to home-based service, d) Student training wards at the University hospital, e) University Health Centre. INTER-SIM: (final year: two days) IP simulation of emergency situations. Evaluation and research will be integrated in all IPE activities. We will define a detailed core curriculum, learning outcomes and activities, examination forms and ECTS, enhance faculty expertise in IPE tutoring, and address restraining factors to IPE as logistical barriers, professional cultures and attitudes and resistance to change among faculty and students. The new knowledge will be widely disseminated.

Sweden; Faculty of Health Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark; Dept of family medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University, Canada Vision and goals Our vision is to educate health care students for future interprofessional collaboration in a transforming society and a transforming health care system. By focusing upon interprofessional skills, student-active learning and patient-centred care we will address demands of the Coordination Reform with regard to: • Shifting the focus from the dichotomous thinking hospital care vs primary health care to an integrated patient centred approach for seamless patient pathways • Handling known and novel technologies in a changing health care sector • Caretaking and treatment of patients of all ages, with a variety of cultural backgrounds, and who suffer from well-known and emerging health problems • Achieving best possible results for patients and society and best possible use of available resources In a consortium with our two major partners for clinical placements and together with internationally leading educational institutions in this field, the Faculty of Health Sciences will develop, implement and evaluate a three-component longitudinal interprofessional educational (IPE) curriculum to our health professional study programmes, which will include: 1. INTER - BASE — a lO-ECTS introductory course for all first-year students 2. INTER - PRAX — interprofessional team based learning activities in clinical practice setting 3. INTER - SIM — interprofessional simulations of emergency situations We will define a detailed core curriculum including learning outcomes and activities, examination forms and ECTS, develop simulations and case studies, engage students in multi-professional learning groups, enhance faculty expertise in IPE tutoring, use digital technology in tutoring, and address restraining factors including logistical barriers as well as differences in professional cultures and resistance to change among faculty and students. The activities will be organized within a centre for interprofessional education in health sciences — INTERPROF. The new knowledge will be widely disseminated. 1 Introduction WHO has expressed a strong need for improved collaboration between health professions within and across sectors and levels of health care(1). Interprofessional education (IPE) occurs when two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care (2), and may contribute to improve outcome for patients with chronic diseases, shorten hospital stays, improve survival, increase patient safety, and improve patient satisfaction (1). In White paper No. 47 2009 Coordination reform (3), Norwegian health authorities pinpointed the profound challenges that Norway is facing with regard to organization and delivery of efficient and effective health care services. Better interprofessional collaborative practice is one explicit demand from our health authorities to overcome those problems. The need for new competences and for interprofessional learning in health care students is addressed in White Paper No 13 (2011-2012) Education for weifrire: Interactio,z as key (4). Core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice have been defined (5) and should set the direction for IPE content and learning activities. Furthermore, northern Norway is facing specific regional challenges regarding delivery of health services. Some 470,000 people populate 1/3 of the area of Norway. Urban centres and hospitals are few, and 56 out of the 88 municipalities have less than 3,000 inhabitants. Also, the

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

To a large extent, the physical form of the habits of the earth’s vegetation and its animal life has been molded by the environment.
