Abstract

The World Health Organization long ago recognized the value of interprofessional education (IPE) as a strategy to promote Health for all by the year 2000 (WHO, 1978). This led to endorsement by other agencies such as the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME, 1988), encouraging countries to adopt it at a national level (Oandasan and Reeves, 2005). Projects and initiatives to tackle the fragmented healthcare practices at the public health delivery level resulted in its expansion. Countries adopted interprofessional education to varying extents, with the best emerging examples from a Canadian government initiative and the United Kingdom (Oandasan and Reeves, 2005). Over the past two decades, what started as a ‘top-down’ initiative from these government agencies has become established as a well conceptualized educational strategy, informed by a rich variety of experiences, models, evaluation evidence and research, towards collaborative care for improved patient and healthcare outcomes.
