“…Interprofessional education is a natural precursor to IPC and can be used as a way to improve how professionals work together, thus enhancing patient care. 17,20,21 There have been increasing awareness and interest in the use of chiropractic services within integrated medical settings, and physician interest is widely documented in many Western countries. In a 2001 survey of Midwestern medical physicians, 54% indicated the desire to offer chiropractic service for their patients, 54% indicated that they have previously referred a patient to a DC, and 17% had themselves received the therapy.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the self-report of experiences, attitudes, and perceived educational needs of American Chiropractic Association members regarding practice in integrated health care settings. Methods: This was a descriptive observational study of the American Chiropractic Association members. Participants completed an electronic survey reporting their current participation and interest in chiropractic integrated practice. Results: The survey was completed in 2011 by 1142 respondents, for a response rate of 11.8%. The majority of respondents (82.9%) did not currently practice in an integrated setting, whereas 17.1% did. Those practicing in various integrated medical settings reported delivering a range of diagnostic, therapeutic, and case management services. Participation in administrative and scholarly activities was less common. Respondents not practicing in integrated settings reported being interested in delivering a very similar array of clinical services. Doctors of chiropractic practicing in hospital or outpatient medical facilities reported frequent engagement in interprofessional collaboration. Both nonintegrated and integrated respondents reported very similar educational interests on a range of clinical topics.

“…Studies have found that groups of health care professionals who received interprofessional education interventions had better adherence to practice guidelines or standards and improved patient satisfaction and outcomes compared to control groups [16]. Moreover, students who participate in interprofessional collaborations bring different perspectives to ethical dialogues and learn from each other.…”

Still unknown, however, are associations among interprofessional education, long-term interprofessional collaboration, and patientspecific outcomes [16].…”

A review of Lin et al.'s pilot study exploring the effects of an interprofessional, problem-based learning clinical ethics curriculum on Taiwanese medical and nursing students' attitudes towards interprofessional collaboration highlights the benefits of interprofessional collaboration and offers insight into how problembased learning might be universally applied in ethics education. Interprofessional collaboration is an ideal approach for exploring ethical dilemmas because it involves all relevant professionals in discussions about ethical values that arise in patient care. Interprofessional ethics collaboration is challenging to implement, however, given time constraints and organizational and practice demands. Nevertheless, we suggest that when professionals collaborate, they can collectively express greater commitment to the patient. We also suggest future research avenues that can explore additional benefits of interprofessional collaboration in clinical ethics. IntroductionAddressing ethical challenges in health care through interprofessional collaboration involves an active partnership among people from diverse training backgrounds who work together to identify, analyze, and resolve ethical questions or concerns in order to improve the quality of health care [1,2]. Interprofessional collaboration is ideal for exploring ethical issues because it allows for inclusion of all relevant professional voices in discussions about ethical values in patient care. To identify and respond to ethical questions, an understanding of patients' and family members' values and preferences, as well as the values and preferences of the various professional stakeholders-such as chaplains, nurses, physicians, and therapists-is required. For example, decisions about

“…The Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education describes interprofessional education (IPE) as “an intervention where the members of more than one health or social care (or both) profession learn interactively together, for the explicit purpose of improving interprofessional collaboration or the health/well-being (or both) of patients/clients” [2, p. S66]. A Cochrane review has shown IPE to have positive outcomes in the areas of diabetes care, emergency department culture, procedures and patient satisfaction, team behaviour in operating rooms, care management in cases of domestic violence and mental health practitioner competencies [3]. …”

The importance of interprofessional education (IPE) in continuing medical education and professional development has long been recognised by health organisations and academic societies, benefiting not only patient outcomes and interprofessional relationships but also overall health systems and workforce shortage. We report on the outcomes of an Australian IPE activity on medication-overuse headache (MOH) with general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists as learners. The design of the activity, which followed the predisposing–enabling–reinforcing instructional framework by Green and Kreuter, aimed to: (1) improve knowledge and foster a willingness in GPs and pharmacists to work collaboratively to enhance the prevention, diagnosis and management of MOH; and (2) address their educational gap by demonstrating the utility of a blended learning IPE strategy on MOH. Integrated into the activity was an assessment of its effectiveness and impact to instil change in the participants’ knowledge of MOH, attitude and willingness to treat, and clinical practice behaviours of GPs and pharmacists to work together. The learners gained knowledge and confidence in diagnosing and managing MOH and in their ability to educate patients. The IPE approach suited the activity and was valued by the participating GPs and pharmacists, who seldom experience such learning formats. However, for educational providers in Australia, developing and deploying an independent medical education (IME) programme can be challenging. Providers of IMEs need to be aware of the potential pitfalls when competing with pharmaceutical-company-sponsored and delivered programmes.
