Abstract
Background
In high-stakes contexts, sporting organisations commonly employ interprofessional healthcare teams. Yet, it is currently unclear how team-oriented teaching and learning might be structured to help deliver superior outcomes in athlete health and performance.
Purpose
To explore whether interprofessional education (IPE) currently exists within a high-stakes interprofessional practice (IPP) environment and how a learning community of athlete-focused health care practitioners inform and develop their own practice.
Method
An explorative qualitative, single case study was conducted, the unit of analysis being a Danish premiere league football club's health care team.
Results, discussion and conclusions
A thematic analysis of semi-structured interview data revealed that IPE exists mainly as an informal/hidden curriculum. Key educational competencies were developed through a community of practice with IPP; mainly through peer learning and mentorship activities. These findings highlight an underdeveloped and potentially important area of focus for interprofessional education and practice in the context of elite athletic health and performance practice.
