Purpose of the Study: Interprofessional education [IPE] is a well-established approach to collaborative education in social service and health care education. IPE has been employed by educators in post-secondary institutions in Canada and abroad. However, questions as to IPE’s sustainability have been recently raised as some IPE programs have folded or stagnated, while other programs remain strong. To understand this phenomenon, the primary goal of this research is to appraise the current state of IPE in Canada and abroad in order to comprehend which aspects of IPE have remained effective over the past decade or more. As a result, we will better understand what elements of IPE need to modernize to meet the current sociocultural, political, and economic landscapes affecting post-secondary education in Canada.
This research aims to engage and collaborate with community service providers (i.e., community social service and health care providers) in achieving a coordinated approach to IPE. Therefore, to create an integrated system of IPE that better connects the education taking place on campus to the education that takes place in the community, we are assessing the needs of community partners who support student educational placements.
