Highlights
Interprofessional Education (IPE) refers to “occasions when two or more professionals learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care” and “improve health outcomes” [2,3]. This contrasts with multi-professional education where health professionals learn alongside one another in a parallel manner, and with Interprofessional Practice (IPP) or “Collaborative Practice” “occurs when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds provide comprehensive services by working with patients, their families, carers and communities to deliver the highest quality of care across settings” [3]
Current evidence shows that IPE is an strong tool to develop cooperation and efficiency among health workers of different professions, improve professional practice and health care and outcomes, improve interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork, reduces the barriers and preconceptions prevailing among various healthcare groups, promotes professional competencies, enhance future health workers’ clinical and medical knowledge and clinical skills [5,6]
The evidence comes from developed countries about its efficiency, challenges, and barriers, which may limit implementation IPE in developing countries, and its guidelines for transformative medical education, were based on evidence derived from developed countries, and World Health Organization (WHO) invites nations to promote IPE and include it in their curriculum [7]
Summary
Interprofessional Education (IPE) refers to “occasions when two or more professionals learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care” and “improve health outcomes” [2,3]. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed improving interprofessional collaboration as an important way to reduce it, supporting the implementation of interprofessional education in medical education.
