Thoughtfully designed educational programs can help students of health professions develop interprofessional competencies and capacities, including values and ethics, roles and responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teamwork (Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2011).

A review of the IPE experiences revealed students greatly benefited from involvement in a diverse set of IPE activities and simulations.
