The book provides readers with international, system-based approaches, emphasizes applications at all levels, and includes examples of student-led initiatives. The book highlights international IPE and CP methods, models, programs, and initiatives that emphasize preparation for collaborative practice across the continuum of care in a variety of settings.

The contributed chapters well define micro, meso, and macro levels and highlight the ways in which IPE and CP initiatives and programs are applied to each. Designed to increase readers’ knowledge and foster greater levels of collaboration, Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice is an ideal resource for health care students, professionals, educator, administrators, researchers, and policymakers.
