We are by founding vision, structure and function a profoundly interprofessional organization. We have organizational membership from 8 fields represented in our Board of Directors and a commitment to participation in the team care movement. Each of our core projects is collaboratively established through interprofessional processes. We have prioritized involvement in the IPE and team care movement through such activities as: participation in CAB III and CAB IV; and sponsoring membership in the IOM Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education, for which ACCAHC's member and chair, Elizabeth Goldblatt, PhD, MPA/HA was the subject of this IOM Spotlight. Interprofessional practice and education leaders keynoted ACCAHC's 2011 and 2013 Biennial Meetings. Key ACCAHC projects (below) focus on IPE/C themes. We educate our members, and through them, their 190 accredited programs and universities, about the movement and opportunities for participation. Because until the last two decades, our fields were quite estranged from conventional medicine, we sometimes joke that Our Silos Are Bigger Than Your Siloes. We are working to change that. Internally, we like say that we foster collaboration by practicing collaboration.
