- Abstract
The need for interprofessional education (IPE) has been well documented and communicated by many prominent governmental bodies and health organizations. A growing body of research demonstrates the benefits of IPE. This short communication defines IPE and collaborative practice, discusses related research, assesses the dental hygiene practice landscape pertaining to collaborative practice, introduces a national interprofessional competency framework, and offers insight into future research needs. The article also highlights how IPE is operationalized in the University of British Columbia’s Dental Hygiene Degree Program and identifies available resources for IPE facilitation. The purpose of this article is to inform educators and practitioners of the importance of IPE and the impact it may have on collaborative practice.
