As the health care industry continues to grow, it is critical that professionals across the various sectors possess interprofessional competency and a collaborative skill set. As such, the World Health Organization and academic program accreditors have amplified their calls for interprofessional training. Interprofessional Education and Collaboration: An Evidence-Based Approach to Optimizing Health Care With CE Exam guides learners through the core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice that have been set by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) and takes an inclusive approach to the education standards set by professional programs that are members of the Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative (HPAC), including the Commission on Accreditation of the Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

Interprofessional Education and Collaboration uses simple definitions and uniform terminology to supply a foundational basis for interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). Introductory topics include building professional knowledge of self and others, creating a culture for teams, building interprofessional relationships, and fostering collaboration. Later chapters move beyond the basics to provide guidance in leading interprofessional teams, managing conflict, and sustaining the interprofessional effort. Case studies create opportunities to assimilate and discuss IPE concepts.

As leading health care institutions continue to prioritize IPE and IPCP, clinicians and practitioners have a responsibility to shape the future of health care through an interprofessional approach. Interprofessional Education and Collaboration is focused on developing a dual identity that leads to intentional behaviors designed to improve patient outcomes through IPCP. Upon completing the book, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
