Abstract:
Health systems worldwide are facing unprecedented challenges, as a result of a convergence of major threats to our social and population health systems. For an epidemic of any magnitude, prevention and preparation by healthcare personnel in clinical settings are essential, both locally and globally. The need for the development of domestic and international training programs in the expanding field of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases is well recognized but particularly urgent at this time. Interprofessional education plays key roles in infectious diseases (ID) and in training the new generation of ID-related specialists.
