Exploring interprofessional education in the family medicine clerkship: a CERA study
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The need for interprofessional education (IPE) to improve teamwork skills has been recognized by several national organizations. The purpose of this study was to investigate IPE integration in family medicine clerkships and factors associated with IPE's success.
METHODS:
A Comparison of Attitudes and Perceptions towards Interprofessional Learning of Students Before and After an Undergraduate Introductory Interprofessional Education Experience

Studies are beginning to indicate that interprofessional (IP) collaboration can be a means to help address this issue. Institutions that have programs in health professions develop Interprofessional Education (IPE) programs as a way to introduce and nurture the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for IP collaboration.
