Abstract

It is now recognized that effective interprofessional education (IPE) requires active engagement of students from different professions using interactive learning methodologies to develop health professional students’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, perceptions and behaviors. IPE is a complex adult learning (andragogy) approach that is most effective when integrated throughout a program of study moving from simple to more complex learning activities that bridge from post-secondary to practice education settings. Educational accreditation standards being developed to stimulate the advancement of IPE will have an impact on policies in both academic and clinical settings.
