Background: Assessment instruments in interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) address diverse constructs. This review examined their characteristics and relevance to faculty readiness for IPE facilitation. Method: This narrative review used focused, non-systematic search of Pubmed and the Journal of Interprofessional Care. Relevant instrument studies and faculty literature were purposively selected, with instrument characteristics and measurement evidence synthesized narratively. Result: Fourteen instrument families addressed attitudes, perceptions, and professional socialization; self-reported collaborative competence; and collaboration in clinical settings. Measurement evidence varied across versions and populations. Instrument comparisons and faculty development literature infromed five candidate domains: understanding IPE; motivation and commitment; pedagogical facilitation; collaborative role modelling; and confidence and perceived preparedness. Conclusion: The proposed domains provide a conceptual basis for assessing faculty readiness and require validation. Existing facilitator-focused measures should be examined for content coverage and potential adaptation before developing a new instrument
