Collaboration Across Borders Conference in Minneapolis, USA , October 24 - 26 2007

2007-08-15T16:17:00Z

Please join us at Collaborating Across Borders: An American-Canadian Dialogue on Interprofessional Health Education. Together, across national and health professions borders, we will explore the link between interprofessional education, policy and collaborative patient-centred practice. We think it’s time to ask the ‘tough questions’ about interprofessional education. At the end of the day, are we making a difference in the way that health professionals are educated and practice?

IPE Down Under.

There are lots of exciting developments in Australia and some of these will be reviewed in a forthcoming editorial in the Journal of Interprofessional Care. The University of Sydney through the Faculties of Health is hoping to become a key influence on the development of IPE within Australia and Jill Thistlethwaite and Gillian Nisbet recently published a useful ‘how-to’ type article entitled Interprofessional education: what’s the point and where we’re at… in Clinical Teacher (THE CLINICAL TEACHER 2007; 4: 67–72 Blackwell Publishing Ltd). This work can also be found in the current issue of the Journal of Interprofessional Care.
