Inter-Professional Education

One way to improve collaboration for different healthcare students is through
inter-professional education (IPE) where they learn about each other, with each other.

Inter-professional education allows the learners to develop a culture of openness and mutual understanding. It promotes interprofessional thinking and acting with shared knowledge. IPE improves teamwork, communication and patient care.
