Study Notes

Interprofessional Education (IPE)

IPE is when two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve collaboration and quality of care.
IPE aims to improve health outcomes by bringing together different health professionals.
A shortage of 80 million healthcare providers is predicted by 2030.
Interprofessional collaboration is a promising solution to the predicted shortage.
