Setting a Research Agenda for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice in the Context of United States Health System Reform
Interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP) have been prolific areas of inquiry exploring research questions mostly concerned with local program and project assessment.

Developing a School of Health Professions
A set of several documents describing the work by Bruce E. Spivey and Gary M. Arsham in the 1970s to create a School of Health Professions in collaboration with the University of the Pacific at what is now the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco.
The School of Health Professions was designed to address commonly recognized deficiencies in the education of health professionals and in the contemporary delivery of health care. The School focuses on primary health care, interprofessional education and care delivery, and self-paced curricula.
