The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC)

The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) is an organization that promotes teamwork among healthcare professionals—such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and therapists—to improve patient care. It focuses on teaching these different professionals to collaborate effectively, understand each other's roles, and communicate well. By fostering teamwork during their training, IPEC aims to create a healthcare system where providers work seamlessly together, leading to safer, more coordinated, and higher-quality care for patients. Ultimately, it supports the development of healthcare teams that can better address complex health needs.
