Luzaan honestly and passionately shares her journey from physiotherapy into interprofessional education, including details on how to innovatively embed IPE within health professions education for education and health impact In episode six we chat with Dr Luzaan Kock, a lecturer in the Interprofessional Education (IPE) unit in the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. Luzaan never planned to be anything other than a physiotherapist, but due to frustrations felt in a lack of impact in her clinical practice she made an unexpected move into Health Professions Education – specifically IPE. Dr Kock authentically and passionately shared her learning and the exciting IPE research and innovations she has been a part of, including using social constructivist and Indigenous Knowledge System approaches to IPE, and worldclass in-person and virtual, local and international, ‘world cafes’ and ‘amazing races’. The values and principles of IPE are clear throughout. She ends by stating that while she has had much to learn and made mistakes along the way (addressing her ‘flaws’ but also encouraging listeners not to be afraid to make a ‘fool’ of themselves), she has found her place and feels deep joy and fulfilment in her new, impactful profession. Keep an ear out for a humorous mention of ‘rubbing rugby player’s legs’ (for professional reasons of course!) Please feel free to connect with Luzaan via LinkedIn at Luzaan Kock-Africa, view her research on her Google Scholar profile; more specifically, here are some of her publications on: IKS, Amazing Race, AfriVIPE which were mentioned in this episode.
