On Interprofessional Education
“IPE allows the students to practice communicating with peers of different disciplines and helps them to understand the rolls these peers play in the health outcomes of their patients. If students learn and understand the roles and impacts that different professionals can have on their patients the nurse can then become a more fierce advocate for their patients, leading to the best outcomes possible.”
