Interprofessional education for collaborative practice is an important innovation globally and in US health professions education. The recent spotlight on interprofessional education in the United States was launched by a series of reports in the US Institute of Medicine's Quality Chasm series. They raised concerns over medical errors and health care quality as significant sources of morbidity and mortality in the United States and proposed health professions' education for patient-centered, team-based care as one means to address these concerns. Starting in 2007, binational, biennial conferences on interprofessional education have been held to synergize interprofessional education developments in the United States and Canada. In 2011, Collaborating Across Borders III, in Tucson, Arizona, drew 750 participants from 11 countries. The conference focused on interprofessional competency frameworks; strategies for preparing students for interprofessional practice; tailoring of learning environments for interprofessional education; and developing policy, infrastructure, culture, and faculty leadership for interprofessional education.
跨专业教育对于协作实践是全球范围内的一项重要创新，也是美国卫生专业教育的重要创新。最近，美国医学研究所（IOM）质量差距系列报告聚焦于美国的跨专业教育。这些报告对医疗错误和医疗质量表示担忧，认为这是美国发病率和死亡率的重要来源，并提出以患者为中心、以团队为基础的医疗保健是解决这些问题的一种手段。从 2007 年开始，美加两国每两年举行一次关于跨专业教育的会议，以协同推进美国和加拿大的跨专业教育发展。2011 年，在亚利桑那州图森市举行的第三届跨国合作会议吸引了来自 11 个国家的 750 名与会者。会议重点关注跨专业能力框架；为学生进行跨专业实践做准备的策略；为跨专业教育调整学习环境；以及为跨专业教育制定政策、基础设施、文化和教师领导力。
