“…The Delphi method for information gathering used in the present study is the most widely used in the field of Health Sciences [ 26 , 27 ]. However, the issues identified in this study are dynamic and may change over time as the practice of mindfulness progresses and may need to be revisited in the near future [ 28 ].…”

Background In health professions, the curriculum that must be met in order to obtain the academic certificate is based on the development of the so-called competencies. The broad content of the Practicum of the Degree of Physiotherapy has led to the creation of multiple types of evaluation, which makes it difficult for faculty members to reach a consensus on competencies. The aim of this study was to develop and validate content of a rubric for the evaluation of acquired competencies related to physiotherapeutic performance and intervention in traumatology within the Practicum of the Degree of Physiotherapy. Methods Following the Delphi methodology, a group of experts from all over the Spanish territory participated in the study. Through on-line questionnaires, several sequential rounds were established, alternated by controlled feedback until obtaining a consensus in the opinion of the experts, which allowed elaborating the final rubric. Results Initially, 16 experts were contacted, of whom 10 worked and completed the final content of the rubric. For the 3 rounds that were conducted, the initial 142 interventions of the initial proposition, which correspond to specific competencies, were reduced to the final 29 items that compose the specific evaluation rubric presented in this study. Conclusions This rubric is an evaluation instrument with valid content for the assessment of specific competencies of Traumatology in the Practicum of the Degree of Physiotherapy.

“…The Delphi technique is a structured process that uses a set of questions/ statements in various rounds with a panel of experts to gain consensus on a particular topic at hand ( 21 ). This technique was chosen because it is an appropriate method for topics with scanty evidence ( 22 ) such as IPE and its implementation in international electives in various training institutions where there is a lack of existing guidelines. It is also a method of choice just like in this study when there is a need to avoid individual opinions of the researcher dominating the process of seeking consensus across a wide expert panel.…”

BackgroundInternational electives provide a learning platform where interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) skills can be cultivated. However, hardly any frameworks to guide the implementation of interprofessional education (IPE) during international electives, especially in the context of low-income settings have been published. To address this gap, this study used the modified Delphi approach to develop an IPE framework guide for international electives to be used by health professions training institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsA rapid literature review and a study among students and faculty in four African health professional training institutions were done to inform the process. This was followed by the modified Delphi technique that used three Delphi rounds with a panel of eight experts to build consensus on the final framework for IPE during international electives. The level of consensus was set at ≥70% on each of the statements in all rounds.ResultsOut of the 52 statements in round 1 (n = 37, 71%) reached consensus while (n = 15, 29%) of the statements did not reach consensus and were discussed in round 2. Round 2 led to 42 statements to be utilized for round 3. In round 3, all statements (42) reached a consensus and an IPE framework to guide the implementation of international electives was developed. The framework consists of three sections. Section one highlights the various IPECP competencies to be gained by learners in the areas of teamwork, interprofessional communication, roles and responsibilities of interprofessional collaborative practice, values and ethics of interprofessional collaboration, and reflection and evaluation of oneself and the team. Section two gives guidance on the structuring of the IPE international electives in health professional training institutions. This includes subsections on operational/institutional needs, acculturation considerations, teaching strategies, assessment strategies, mode of delivery, and public health considerations. Section three consists of the various practical guides and approaches that health professional training institutions could use according to what works best in their setting.ConclusionThe modified Delphi technique was an adequate approach to aid the development of an IPE framework to guide implementation during international electives in various health professional training institutions.
