Linking Academic and Clinical Leaders to Promote IPP

Missing link in IPE Ensuring that all health care professionals recognize the importance of an interprofessional practice model for patient-centered care is paramount in today’s health care arena. While, the use of IPE experiences is not new in the academy linking those experiences to rich clinical experiences is less frequently observed. Academic faculty partnering with clinical residency programs to design learning environments that capitalize upon the strengths of both can create an insightful IPE educational experience for students during their didactic training and support IPP. This partnership provides mentorship for residents transitioning from their role as clinicians to that of an educator and advocate of IPP with students
