Learner attitudes toward collaboration with other professions are critical in the development and implementation of interprofessional educational activities. Attitude assessment provides baseline information, determines needs and can be used to evaluate impact of learning.

This guide, developed by the National Center, lists and links to resources which can help organizations assess attitudes.

This guide, developed by the National Center, lists and links to resources that can help organizations address and manage conflict in interprofessional teams.

The Interprofessional Oral Health Faculty Tool Kits are based on the IPEC Competencies, the NONPF Core Competencies and the HRSA interprofessional oral health core competencies delineated in the Integration of Oral Health and Primary Care Practice report (2014).

The following is a digital version of Hugh Barr's Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by published work, awarded by the University of Greenwich.

The author writes:  "The 18 papers submitted are a cross-section of my publications in interprofessional education (IPE) since becoming actively engaged in that field in 1989. They comprise four themes. Each is updated and complemented by additional conceptualizations. Together, they point to the need to:
