The text covered a good basic understand of the 4 competencies built by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2023. The idea and glossary were also easy to locate and follow.
The content was unbiased and used great references and stated widely known facts as well. It had a good mix of perspective types such a social, governmental, and religious organizational thinking on ethics, values, and morals. It also expressed a wide range of professional roles and collaboration. I did not find any errors during my reading. I will read again with a focus more on error search.
The content in this book including the references are up to date.
The text was written using simple language and was easy to understand. The flow of the chapters were outlined very well and flowed well from one chapter to the other.
The working of the 4 competencies really helped with the continuity of terminology. The key terms provided in each chapter continued to flow into the next, giving the reader a continued use of the term and a good understanding of the terminology. The wort Team was highlighted in each competency that was used as the anchor for each section.
Yes! I loved the outline of each chapter. I do have dyslexia and ADD and as an adult and in instructor, It was not too busy with a lot of images and it did not feel daunting to read. I read it via a PDF download and it was easy to scroll through. The text size was good for me as well. Because there are only 100 pages it is easy to find the key points I was looking for.
Yes. The order of each chapter was good. It had good flow and the introduction ladies out perfectly what I was to expect in each chapter.
Yes! I have read the PDF on my phone and on my laptop and I had no issues with text, photos, or links.
I did not find any grammatical errors. This is not my strong point. I suggest someone else read with me to check this.
I did not find any culturally insensitive information. The examples did not focus on race and ethics but focused on working as a team and developing ethical practices in the team that rolled over to advancing patient care.
I really enjoyed the links to the specific roles or each partitioner and the links to the questions at the end of the book.
