Interprofessional education and training: A focus on the Americas

Healthcare training has traditionally happened in professional silos, yet strong evidence shows that interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) improves quality, coordination and health outcomes. This webinar explores the state of interprofessional education (IPE) across the Americas, the barriers institutions face at educational, institutional and systemic levels, and strategies to build sustainable IPE programmes. Participants will also be introduced to the FIP Interprofessional Education Readiness Tool, a self-assessment instrument designed to help institutions identify gaps, benchmark progress internationally and strengthen collaborative practice-ready training for future health professionals.
