Which item is NOT listed as an IPE competency?

• A. Teamwork
• B. Role recognition
• C. Learning
• D. Leadership

Answer: (D)

In interprofessional education, the expected competencies cover how professionals work together across disciplines, not just how one person leads. Frameworks identify teamwork, role clarification (recognizing each profession’s responsibilities), interprofessional learning, interprofessional communication, and collaborative leadership as the core areas. The term Leadership by itself isn’t listed as a separate IPE competency; leadership in this context is understood as collaborative leadership—shared, coordinated leadership within a team. That’s why the item described as Leadership is the one not listed as its own competency. The other options fit: teamwork, role recognition, and learning align with established IPE competencies, while leadership is encompassed under collaborative leadership.
