Interprofessional education in Canada aims to improve health team function and professional knowledge. However, widespread implementation is hindered by a lack of strong evidence on program effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Interprofessional Collaboration
  • Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

  • Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for enhancing healthcare team collaboration and professional understanding.
  • Canadian IPE programs aim to increase knowledge of other professions' scopes of practice and improve team functioning.
  • Existing IPE initiatives often reach only a fraction of health trainees, indicating a need for broader implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of interprofessional education models in Canada.
  • To identify challenges and opportunities for expanding IPE programs.
  • To analyze the effectiveness and common structures of Canadian IPE initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and documented interprofessional education programs in Canada.

  • Analysis of program objectives, employed models, and reported outcomes.
  • Identification of common pedagogical approaches, such as case-based learning and interprofessional team formation.

    • Main Results:

    • Several well-established and numerous partial or planned IPE programs exist in Canada.
    • The most common model involves mandatory, case-based experiences for health faculty students forming interprofessional teams.
    • A significant challenge to IPE expansion is the limited convincing evidence of program effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • IPE in Canada has established programs but requires wider reach among health trainees.
    • Case-based learning within interprofessional student teams is a frequent educational model.
    • Demonstrating program effectiveness is critical for the future expansion of interprofessional education in Canada.
