Interprofessional Education for Collaboration: Learning How to Improve Health from Interprofessional Models ...

This report is a summary of what took place at our 2012 Forum-sponsored events and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all who make up the Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education.

Every year, the Global Forum undertakes two workshops whose topics are selected by the more than 55 members of the Forum. It was decided in this first year of the Forum's existence that the workshops should lay the foundation for future work of the Forum and the topic that could best provide this base of understanding was "interprofessional education."
The first workshop took place August 29-30, 2012, and the second was on November 29-30, 2012. Both workshops focused on linkages between interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice.
