Interprofessional Education (IPE)

Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a learning approach where students from different healthcare fields, such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work, learn together. The goal is to improve collaboration and teamwork among future health professionals, leading to better patient care. By understanding each other’s roles and communication styles during training, they can work more effectively in real-world settings. IPE promotes a team-based approach to healthcare, emphasizing coordination, mutual respect, and shared decision-making to enhance patient outcomes and safety.
