Accelerating Interprofessional Community-Based Education and Practice Program Highlighted in Health
The Accelerating Interprofessional Community-Based Education and Practice program, funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, was recently featured in a Health Affairs article written by Barbara Brandt, who leads the interprofessional collaboration work at the University of Minnesota.
The program aims to help schools of nursing create robust, innovative, and sustainable interprofessional education programs since a nurse's role in health care has become increasingly important. The main objective of the program is to develop more effective patient care in places where it's primarily delivered. Nurse leaders will learn to engage with diverse health and other professionals, and these nurses and other health professionals will gain stronger training and education as they are guided by the teams in community clinical settings.
The John A. Hartford Foundation, along with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, has provided the program with the Increasing Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) in Clinical Nursing & Health Professions Education grant since the beginning of this year.
