Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: InterProfessional Team Training and Simulation

Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) is a requirement for post-graduate learners. Many programs have used simulation-based training to fulfill this requirement and to improve patient care. This chapter reviews specific examples of simulation-based IPE to inform the development of curricula; focusing on challenges, resources for implementation, and tools to quantify the impact of IPE.
