Conceptual Basis for Interprofessional Education at the University of Minnesota

Abstract

The University of Minnesota Academic Health Center is perfectly positioned to develop interprofessional team education and exemplary practice sites. We have committed leadership, multiple health professional schools under one roof, several initial experiments in providing interprofessional experiences to our students, and a student body that is calling for this kind of training. This report proposes a new way to think about interprofessional education.
