## In authors' words

### What they found (results)

Proposes a layered meta-model in which leaders first use DSRP to read the complexity of an interprofessional education system, then select from complementary systems and complexity tools, so that actions account for nested structures, stakeholder viewpoints and ripple effects.

## Commentary

### In short

Builds DSRP in as the first layer of a multi-model meta-framework for health professions education leaders, defining and teaching each of the four patterns as an assessment step before intervention choice.
