Interprofessional Education (IPE)Aurora Denial, OD, FAAOThe World Health Organization (WHO) definesinterprofessionaleducation (IPE) as “the occasions when students from two ormore professions learn about, fromand with each other to enable effective collaboration and improvehealth outcomes.1 The WHO firstrecognized the importance of IPE in1978, more than 30 years ago.2 Sincethat time, interprofessional educational initiatives have beenslowly introduced into healthcare programs. Recent changesin healthcare policy and delivery have led to an increasedawareness of the importance of IPE. Changes in accreditation in many healthcare programs have led to IPE becominga required competency.still leaves room for isolation. Interprofessional educationleading to interprofessional patient care will require a shiftin culture. The shift reflects thinking within the frameworkof an autonomous professional vs. as a professional workingwithin a team.Culture changes are usually slow to take hold and are oftenmet with challenges. The challenges associated with IPE include practicality in scheduling, time to bring students together, finding other professional schools to partner with,administrative support and faculty training. Informationabout interprofessional education is plentiful. Using thewords interprofessional education in a Google search produced almost 2 million entries. There are also many journalsand conferences dedicated to the topic. I recently had theopportunity to attend the 2014 Interprofessional EducationCollaborative Conference in Virginia. This three-day conference provided information, resources, examples of ongoingprojects, consultation with experts in the field, and an opportunity to develop curricula and projects for our students.The conference participants included faculty from multiplehealthcare professions, including optometry.The Journal of Patient Safety estimates that more than400,000 patients each year, who go to the hospital forcare, suffer some type of preventable harm that contributesto their death.3 This makes medical errors the third leading cause of death in the United States. In 2001, the Institute of Medicine recommended redesigning systems anddeveloping effective healthcare teams to achieve care that ispatient-centered and supported by evidence-based decisionmaking.4 The systems would also take into account patientsafety, avoidance of injury, time, efficiency and fairness.4Optometric education provides the knowledge, skills androle-modeling for future practitioners, but how do educationand the profession of optometry fit into IPE and ultimatelyinterprofessional practice? The profession is mainly practiced in outpatient settings, often in private or commercialpractices. These practice modalities often lead to isolation.Will future changes in healthcare practice necessitate thatall practitioners accept and embrace working within a team?The AOA Code of Ethics states “it should be the duty of alloptometrist to keep their patient’s eye, vision and generalhealth paramount
