Interprofessional education

This paper examines the nature and diversity of interprofessional education, its characteristics and modes of delivery. The paper explores the challenges of facilitating and assessing interprofessional education and Della Freeth argues that good interprofessional education is just a special case of good professional education. The differences lie in realising the potential of learning within a deliberately mixed group and in overcoming, whether in person or electronically, the inevitable challenges of bringing mixed groups together.
