Interprofessional (IP) education is focused on learning about, from, and with other health care professionals in an effort to improve patient care and specifically patient safety. IP education does not diminish the importance of discipline-specific competencies but rather focuses on making the connections necessary to develop IP collaborative practice to improve the quality of health care. Research studies addressing IP education in both health profession students and health care professionals published during 2021 are reviewed. The studies explored improving attitudes toward IP education, improving communication and collaboration skills, and improving patient safety. Review of the recently published IP education literature reveals opportunities for respiratory therapy educators, researchers, managers, and clinicians to discover ways to develop IP collaborative practice to ultimately have an important impact on the outcome of the patients we serve.
跨专业（IP）教育侧重于了解、学习和与其他医疗保健专业人员合作，以改善患者护理，特别是患者安全。IP 教育并没有降低学科特定能力的重要性，而是专注于建立必要的联系，以发展 IP 协作实践，提高医疗保健质量。审查了 2021 年发表的关于健康专业学生和医疗保健专业人员的 IP 教育的研究。这些研究探讨了改善对 IP 教育的态度、提高沟通和协作技能以及提高患者安全的问题。对最近发表的 IP 教育文献的回顾为呼吸治疗教育者、研究人员、管理人员和临床医生提供了机会，以发现发展 IP 协作实践的方法，最终对我们服务的患者的结果产生重要影响。
