The education of health care professionals has evolved from focusing on the individual practitioner's knowledge and skills to recognizing that high quality health care requires practitioners who are prepared to function in interprofessional teams. Higher education is heeding the call to prepare students to value teamwork and develop skills for working in interprofessional teams. While there is much written on implementing interprofessional education (IPE) in the practice setting and in larger institutions, there is little literature on implementing IPE within a university that is not affiliated with a medical school or medical center; which can be especially challenging. This article shares the many challenges to implementing IPE within this context and presents strategies one university used toward developing an integrated IPE program that is relevant to nine health-related disciplines.
