Interprofessional education (IPE)

“…occurs when two

or more professions

learn about, from

and with each other

to enable effective

collaboration and

improve health

outcomes...”

(WHO, 2010)


The purpose of IPE

• To produce competent graduates

• To appreciate the uniqueness of each profession

• To initiate understanding among profession

• To grow the ability to make comprehensive

decisions

• To create a better new system of health care

delivery through better collaboration


Interprofessional Collaboration Practice (IPCP)

“…occurs when multiple

health workers from

different professional

backgrounds provide

comprehensive health

services by working with

patients, their families,

carers & communities to

deliver the highest

quality of care across

settings…” (WHO, 2010)


IPCP for students

Occurs when students

from different disciplines

learn to provide care to

a patient or a group of

patients through an

integrated problem

solving approach

based on ethical,

legal and caring

aspects.

are expected to work

together and share

expertise in a team

environment, it makes

prepare them for this type

of working arrangement.”
