The National Collaborative for Improving the Clinical Learning Environment (NCICLE) released the complete proceedings of its 2017 national symposium on enhancing the interprofessional clinical learning environment (IP-CLE). The proceedings, developed by an NCICLE work group representing a diverse set of symposium participants, serve as a catalyst to stimulate new ideas and approaches to viewing the clinical learning environment as a shared responsibility.

The proceedings summarize conversations and activities from the 2-day symposium that focused on the following:

• The value of IP-CLEs
• Characteristics of high-functioning IP-CLEs
• The role of leaders in macro, meso, and micro environments of health care in supporting high functioning IP-CLEs
• The role of national stakeholders – today and in the future – in optimizing conversations, practices and structures that will enhance interprofessional learning in the context of patient care.
