Abstract
Providing interprofessional education (IPE) is mandated by accrediting agencies for health professions education; however, pedagogical, logistical, and financial challenges exist in implementing and sustaining high-quality IPE. After executing several IPE activities, an IPE team developed a structured approach for organizing, sustaining, and ensuring high-quality IPE. This article introduces the Design-Implement-Assess-Modify (DIAM) Model. A portfolio spreadsheet was developed and includes components from each of the DIAM phases. The team documented characteristics from five IPE activities conducted annually for 5 years and tracked progress. The DIAM approach has allowed the team to develop a detailed and living portfolio to design, implement, assess, and modify several IPE activities across different professions. This approach has led to the intentional planning and development of multiple IPE activities that include the integration of standards of best practice and accreditation, while preparing practitioners for collaborative practice.
