Frequently asked questions
It all started with a simple idea to provide students in online programs with the ability to learn with, from, and about professionals across disciplines and borders, mirroring the collaborative realities of the complex systems they will ultimately serve.
What is Virtual Interprofessional Education (VIPE)?
VIPE is a digitally enabled model of interprofessional education that brings together learners and professionals from multiple disciplines, institutions, and countries to collaboratively address complex, real-world challenges through sustained virtual engagement.
How is VIPE different from traditional interprofessional education (IPE)?
Traditional IPE is often local, time-limited, and discipline-bound. VIPE is virtual by design, globally networked, and systems-focused, enabling continuous collaboration across professions, sectors, and geographies rather than one-off learning experiences.
Who can participate in VIPE?
VIPE is designed for students, educators, clinicians, technologists, policymakers, and professionals across health, social care, education, security, technology, and related fields-any discipline engaged in complex problem-solving benefits from interprofessional collaboration.
What types of learning activities are used in VIPE?
VIPE uses case-based learning, scenario simulations, facilitated discussions, video interviews with professionals, collaborative projects, and reflective exercises delivered through synchronous and asynchronous digital platforms.
Why is the virtual format important to VIPE?
The virtual format enables equitable access, global participation, and scalability, allowing learners from diverse and resource-variable settings to engage as equal contributors while removing geographic, financial, and institutional barriers.
How does VIPE address professional hierarchies?
VIPE intentionally flattens traditional hierarchies by emphasizing role clarity, mutual respect, and shared problem ownership, creating learning environments where each profession’s expertise is valued and essential.
How does VIPE prepare learners for real-world practice?
By focusing on authentic, complex challenges and cross-sector collaboration, VIPE builds practical competencies in communication, teamwork, systems thinking, and adaptive leadership that directly translate to real-world professional environments.
What is the broader impact of VIPE?
VIPE strengthens interprofessional collaboration, supports global workforce development, and contributes to more resilient, connected systems by preparing professionals to work effectively across disciplines, cultures, and borders.
