Application and Student Perceptions of the PEEER© Model for Effective Healthcare Team Communications
Few interprofessional education (IPE) models include patients and caregivers. To address this, we developed a novel model for teaching IP communication which included patients and caregivers as team members. We describe the model and our use of it in several health professions education curricula. We report preliminary data from learners regarding their experiences learning and utilizing the model as part of their IPE. Overall the model was positively viewed by students, although the perceived value of learning activities involving the model varied by discipline.

The health care team challenge™: Developing an international interprofessional education research collaboration
Interprofessional education (IPE) to improve and increase interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC) has been documented for over 50 years in Canada, but it is within the last 15 years that it has gained attention in research, education and practice contexts. IPE is defined as two or more professions that learn with from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care (CAIPE 2002).
