Abstract
Interprofessional education (IPE) is an educational requirement for many health care professions, including speech-language pathology and audiology. Interprofessional approaches to education may be a valuable asset for improving services provided to older adults due to their complex and unique needs required over a longer period of time compared to a younger individual. Studies have also shown that IPE activities may elicit positive changes in student perceptions toward older adults and other professions. However, research describing the best educational practices for conducting IPE aimed at preparing professionals to work with older adults is limited, and many educational programs lack exposure and practice for IPE as their focus is on a single profession. Educators can use information related to the IPE Competency Domains and outcome measurement tools provided in this article to develop IPE experiences. Evaluation of IPE experiences will increase the evidence base and address a critical need in health care for older adults.
