FACULTY OF HEALTH Interprofessional Education
Strategies 2010-11
Faculty Council, September 8, 2010
What is Interprofessional Education?
IPE occurs when students from two or more professions
learn about, from and with each other to enable effective
collaboration and improve health outcomes
IPE is a necessary step in preparing a “collaborative
practice‐ready”
health workforce that is better prepared
to respond to local health needs
A collaborative practice‐ready health worker is someone
who has learned how to work in an interprofessional team
and is competent to do so.
Collaborative practice strengthens health systems and
improves health outcomes( CIHC, WHO,2010)
Integrated health and education policies can promote effective interprofessional education and
collaborative practice through a range of mechanisms:
Supportive management practices Identifying and supporting championsResolve to change the culture and attitudes of health
workersWillingness to update, renew and revise existing curriculaAppropriate legislation that eliminates barriers to
collaborative practice
