Interprofessional education in healthcare simulation is an educational process in which students from two or more healthcare professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of patient care. It is an initiative to secure interprofessional learning (IPL) and promote gains through interprofessional collaboration in professional practice utilizing simulation modalities that are designed to emulate their collective work in patient care -thereby promoting collaborative practice and improved patient care outcomes. Physicians, nurses, technicians, administrators, and the many other members of the healthcare team benefit greatly from learning environments which promote improved communication and practice across the disciplines and specialties.
Four core competencies in IPE have been identified by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC).
