VIRTUAL INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION COLLABORATIVE (VIPE)

INFORMATION & INTRODUCTION

World Health Organization Definition of Interprofessional Education (IPE) and
Collaborative Practice:

  • “Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn
    about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health
    outcomes.
  • Interprofessional education is a necessary step in preparing a “collaborative practice-
    ready” health workforce that is better prepared to respond to local health needs.
  • A collaborative practice-ready health worker is someone who has learned how to work in
    an interprofessional team and is competent to do so.
  • Collaborative practice happens when multiple health workers from different professional
    backgrounds work together with patients, families, care-ers and communities to deliver
    the highest quality of care. It allows health workers to engage any individual whose skills
    can help achieve local health goals”

Goal of VIPE:

To provide virtual health care students from multiple
universities with an interprofessional orientation and virtual
training experience in the care of patients across the
continuum of care, with an emphasis in promoting their
physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being
through collaborative health care practices.
