Interprofessional Education/Practice and Team-Based Care

Academic health centers are inherently multi-professional institutions.

AAHC’s practice has been to work closely with stakeholders, providing a forum for forward-thinking discussions on interprofessional education and building best practices.

Adopting the approach of the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education and with the creation of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative , AAHC shifted its focus to broader contexts where interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential, including:

• Team-based care
• Patient and family-centered care
• Addressing the social determinants of health
