Development and implementation of a graduate-level, application focused ICF course to promote utilization in research and practice
June 5, 2015Tram Nguyen MSc. PhD Candidate & Dr. Olaf Kraus de Camargo, Dr. Jan Willem Gorter
What’s unique about this ICF course?
• The innovation of this course is that it’s application-focused structure through peer and instructor mentorship.
• A strength of the course is the diversity of instructors to model different approaches to how the ICF can be applied in research and practice.
Course StructureModule Topic Target
Introduction (in-class) Review and discuss course format
Complete ICF Knowledge SurveyDiscuss course instructors. Present backgrounds and areas of interest and expertise.
Module 1 (in-class) Conceptual basis and history of ICF
Mentor should be identified and general topic chosen
Module 2 (in-class) ICF in-clinical practice and inter-professional collaboration
Familiarize with clinical applications of ICF
Module 3 (in-class) ICF to create, select or evaluate outcome tools for research and practice
Familiarize with ICF and tools
Module 4 (in-class) ICF in teaching and knowledge-translation

Course StructureModule Topic Target
Due date Instructor meeting to finalize mentors and peer-review partners
One-page project proposals (include requested mentor)..
Independent Study Develop chosen project with mentor
Final Presentations Complete ICF Knowledge SurveyCourse wrap-up
Independent Study Complete written projects
Peer review of final presentations and written report
Final evaluation
What is the teaching strategy?
• Traditional lectures, small and large group discussions (among peers and with instructors). The course consisted of an in-class phase and a project phase.
• The course introduction and Modules 1-4 are full-day five-hour format. Module 5 is an independent study related to the student’s personal area of interest in research or practice guided by a chosen instructor.
• To date, two cohorts of students have piloted the course since it’s implementation in 2011.
• Results indicate that the course assisted students in applying the ICF into practice through instructor and peer mentorship interactive approach to learning. Student feedback through course evaluation also revealed that they appreciated the diversity of instructors to illustrate the multiple perspectives of applying the ICF.
• Student projects have resulted in an array of publications and project reports to encourage change in practice.

Key Messages• It is hoped that professional programs will model our
approach to develop similar courses within their professional curriculum to build capacity for application of the ICF.
• Education and training through a combination of peer support and mentorship for health professionals in the use of the ICF could assist with facilitating its uptake.
