Use of the logic model to develop and implement an interprofessional module for undergraduate healthcare students at a University in South Africa: A study protocol

ABSTRACT

Interprofessional education and collaborative practice, supported by the World Health Organisation and the local Health Professions Council is not fully established at all universities and for all health professions in South Africa (HPCSA, 2014). In this study protocol, the logic model is proposed as a framework for the development of a module for final year healthcare students. The logic model will guide planning and implementation following the steps of situational analysis, input and processes, output and outcome. A community of practice will develop the module. Large-scale buy-in from management, faculty and students is required for successful implementation and sustainability.
