Why Interprofessional Education?
Why Interprofessional Education?
Interprofessional Education (IPE) is defined as ‘when students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes’.
There are critical shortages in both Social Work and Nursing professions and they play a critical role securing the physical and mental health care for underserved communities in New York City.
Social Workers and Nurses often work together on interdisciplinary teams. Collaboration between these two professions, particularly as they are engaged in their educational experiences, can be enhanced through a better understanding of each other's roles, skills, and practice expectations.
