By Nassrine Noureddine, Darla K. Hagge, William Ofstad

Interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (IPCP) are the keys to improving health, safety, satisfaction and cost in the modern healthcare system. This IPE Toolkit provides healthcare educators, administrators, and clinicians with a practical, evidence-based manual for leading change. With these keys, we invite you to unlock meaningful collaboration for the next generation of health professionals, supported by an interprofessional collaboration of authors with more than 50 years of combined experience in education, practice, and scholarship in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, instructional design, simulation and online education.

Following a step-by-step approach with supporting resources and examples, this guide offers a structured method for successful interprofessional program design, implementation, and assessment. Readers will explore IPE through the context of accreditation standards, administrative leadership, stakeholder buy-in, faculty and professional development, scholarship, teaching and learning, and curriculum development. Ten toolkits give professionals and educators the resources they need to quickly start new IPE learning experiences. This book is the go-to manual to fully explore, successfully launch, and advance quality IPE that creates results.
