Interprofessional Education (IPE)

IPE is recognized by various international professional societies (e.g. World Health Organization and Institute of Medicine) and accreditation organizations as foundational to achieving safe, high quality, accessible, patient-centered care. Simulation, an effective vehicle to enhance interprofessional education, can help educate students from all health professions, across the educational spectrum, to work collaboratively.
