Abstract

This is the second paper in a two-part series. The first paper presented a study that provided a more contextual description of the commonly applied definition of interprofessional education (IPE) offered in 2002 by the Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) in the UK. The study's results confirm and consolidate key characteristics of IPE by exploring the meaning of with, from and about. This second paper presents a proposed taxonomy for IPE that may serve to inform emerging applications for IPE in the context of education, service delivery and policy. This paper contributes to an emerging understanding of IPE that will support competency development and sound curriculum design, continuing professional development and evaluation of the impact of IPE and collaboration on health outcomes.
