Abstract
Interprofessional education (IPE) is the foundation for collaborative practice. It is resource intensive because it requires a shift away from didactic teaching towards a model of facilitated small group learning. This article discusses the ways in which IPE is supported by educational theory and summarizes the increasing evidence for its effectiveness in transforming health-care organizations, leading to increased staff motivation and direct improvements in patient care.
