摘要:Background: Evidence that interprofessional education (IPE) leads to better teamwork and improved interprofessional collaboration has created a drive to establish pre-registration IPE health science and social care programs. Yet there is limited guidance available for teachers new to IPE. Objectives: To provide first-time teachers practical strategies to undertake IPE. Methods : Strategies developed from experience. Findings: First-time IPE teachers should: try to join an existing IPE team; observe and collaborate with experienced IPE teachers; contribute to the development of new IPE programs; seek institutional support; undertake IPE evaluation and research; and gain high-level institutional endorsement. Conclusions: Six strategies are designed to overcome commonly recognized problems and enable first-time teachers to more confidently develop or engage in IPE, thus supporting students to attain skills in interprofessional collaboration.
