| Abstract (English): | Internationally, a growing number of interprofessional education (IPE) offices are being established within academic institutions. However, few are applying educational improvement methodologies to evaluate and improve the interprofessional (IP) learning opportunities offered. The University of Manitoba IPE Initiative was established in 2008 to facilitate the development of IP learning opportunities for pre-licensure learners. The research question for this secondary analysis was: what, if any, changes in the number and attributes of IP learning opportunities occurred in the academic year 2008-2009 compared to 2011-2012? The Points for Interprofessional Scoring (PIPES) tool was used to quantify the attributes of each IP learning opportunity. Most notably in 2012, eight (73%) of 11 IP learning opportunities achieved the highest PIPES score (> 55), compared to only four (36%) in 2009. The concept of the PIPES score is introduced as an educational improvement strategy and a potential predictor of achieving the desired educational outcome: collaborative competence.

| Abstract (French): | Les institutions académiques du monde accueillent de plus en plus de bureaux d'éducation interprofessionnelle. Par contre, très peu mettent en pratique des méthodologies d'amélioration de l'enseignement pour évaluer et améliorer ces occasions d'apprentissage interprofessionnelles (OAI). En 2008, afin de faciliter la création de telles occasions pour les apprenants avant l'obtention de leur permis de pratique, l'Université du Manitoba lançait l'initiative d'éducation interprofessionnelle. Elle voulait savoir s'il existait des différences dans les nombres et les attributs des OAI entre les années 2008-2009 et 2011- 2012. Les attributs de chaque OAI ont été quantifiés en utilisant une version adaptée de l'outil « Points for Interprofessional Scoring » ou (PIPEs). En 2012 notamment, 73 % d'occasions d'apprentissage interprofessionnel (soit 8 sur 11) avait atteint le score PIPES (>55) le plus élevé, comparativement à 36 % en 2009. Le concept du score « PIPES » est présenté comme une stratégie d'amélioration du secteur de l'éducation et comme un potentiel de prédiction du résultat éducationnel désiré : une compétence collaborative.
