Hi everyone, in this video, we're going to talk about interprofessional education.

And by the end of this video, you'll be able to discuss the basic principles underlying

interprofessional education and interprofessional collaboration.

So I'm going to show you a few pictures of bridges. And the reason I'm thinking of bridges

when we talk about interprofessional care is we have a lot

of gaps going on. We have a lot of chasms such as the gap between evidence and practice. We also have

gaps between the different professions where we have such different worldviews between the different

professions and yet we're all caring for the same women so

how can we bridge that gap well there's lots of different ways and bridges don't have to be

fancy this is a bridge at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky and that's one of my friends who were

out hiking one day there and it's a simple bridge but it does the job it it bridges that gap over the chasm there. And here's another

bridge. I mean, bridges can be old. They can be new. This is a bridge near my hometown that was built

in 1876, and at the time it was the highest bridge in the United States. So it was built a long, long,

long time ago, and it spans a big gap

and its job is to get trains from one side to the other. So thinking about how can we bridge

these gaps. And this is another beautiful bridge that I found and I just think a lot about how we

are trying to connect different parties, different professions

that really don't know how to connect with one another. So how can we do that? Well, one of the

main ways we can bridge this gap is through interprofessional education or IPE. IPE is defined

as when members or students of two or more health-related professions

engage in learning with, from, and about each other.

By its very definition, this is interactive learning.
