What is Interprofessional Education?
“Interprofessional education is when students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Interprofessional collaborative practice is when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds provide comprehensive services by working with patients, their families, caregivers and communities to deliver the highest quality of care across settings”
