Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss educational ideas that promote collaborative care through interprofessional education (IPE). IPE can use any educational pedagogy, provided that learners from different professions have opportunities to interact and learn from each other. Here, the aim is to maximize students’ opportunities to learn about other professions, communicate effectively across professions, and function effectively as a member of a team – as opposed to necessarily focusing on specific “content.” This chapter introduces the definition and basic tenets of IPE, discusses faculty development, provides examples of IPE across the educational continuum, and shares ways to assess learners and evaluate the effectiveness of your IPE endeavors.
