The aim of this study was to contextualize and assess the validity and reliability of the Interprofessional Collaborative Assessment tool (ICAR) in an Iranian context using simulation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&nbsp; Methods</strong>: In this descriptive study, contextualization of the ICAR was assessed through several steps. Firstly, validity assessment was approved through expert panels and Delphi rounds. Secondly, reliability assessment was done by arranging a simulation video and assessing reproducibility, test-retest (ICC), internal consistency (Cronbach&#39;s Alpha) and inter-rater reliability (Kappa).The participants included 26 experts, 27 students and 6 staff of the Standardized Simulation Office of Teheran University of Medical Sciences.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&nbsp; Results</strong>: Contextualization and validity of the ICAR were approved in an Iranian context. The reliability of the tool was computed to be 0.71 according to Cronbach&acute;s Alpha. The test-retest was calculated to be 0.76.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&nbsp; Conclusion</strong>: The Iranian ICAR can be a useful tool for evaluating interprofessional collaborative competencies. The development of the instrument through a simulation scenario has been a positive prospect for researchers.</p> <p></p> 742 749 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-1037&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Fatemeh Keshmiri keshmiri_f@razi.tums.ac.ir 200319475328460023729 200319475328460023729 No Faculty of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
