N2 - This secondary analysis scoping review sought to examine co-curricular IPE activities with a focus on health inequity content. A search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, ERIC, and Scopus databases. A total of 49 articles were included. We found that 19 of the 49 articles implemented orientation and/or trainings in health inequity issues as a component of the co-curricular IPE activity, and nine articles included patient and community outcomes. Given the importance of the social determinants of health and health inequity, the inclusion of patient and student outcomes is promising in moving forward the goals and objectives of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) to show the positive impact of interprofessional collaboration on patient health. While IPE has been suggested as a mechanism to improve interprofessional collaboration, more evidence is required linking interprofessional collaboration to improved health outcomes and health inequity in vulnerable populations. As IPEC reviews and updates the IPEC core competency framework, we recommend considering the inclusion of health inequity content as a vital component.
