Students’ views of learning about an interprofessional world café method
To highlight a specific methodology to advance the interprofessional learning of senior students across five disciplines. By sharing the views of students engaged in a world café model of IPE, the authors highlight this strategy as a new concept in instilling core competencies in students.

Department of Veterans Affairs: Academic PACT (Patient Aligned Care Team): A blueprint for primary care redesign in academic practice settings"
In 2010, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) launched a program to transform its primary care system into a team-based care model in which all Veterans were assigned to Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACTs) in more than 900 primary care clinics nationwide.
