IPE is an approach to teaching and learning that brings together students from two or more professions to learn about, from and with each other in service of enabling effective collaboration. Its goal is to improve health care outcomes through the education of a collaborative practice ready workforce that is prepared to respond to local and global health needs (World Health Organization 2010).

IPE is delivered in 14 weeks and students are divided into 2 groups of students: each group attends every other week, starting from week number 5, according to the course outline presented below.

Groups

GA (Simulation-based IPE): GA1 (Team 1 - 9) - GA2 ( Team 10 – 18)

GB (Roundtable Case-based IPE): GB1 (Team 19 - 27) - GB2 ( Team 28 – 36)
