Abstract

Today's health care system has embraced the model of collaborative interprofessional efforts among health care professionals to achieve desired patient health outcomes. The Academy can offer the foundational experiences needed to support and develop interprofessional patient-centered plans of care for health professional students. This paper explores one institution's approach to the creation of an infusion plan which the authors have termed a "structured immersion approach" (SIA) to interprofessional education (IPE). The SIA supports "Core Signature IPE" experiences within existing silo-based curriculums that allow for interprofessional education experiences and the appreciation of the importance of interprofessional practice in today's health care.
