Affordable Care Act: Coordinating Center for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice

 

The purpose of the coordinating center for interprofessional education and collaborative practice (CC-IPECP) is to provide an infrastructure for leadership, expertise, and support to enhance the coordination and capacity building of IPECP among health professions across the U.S. particularly in medically underserved areas. Through innovative program coordination, scholarly activities, and analytic data collection, the coordinating center will raise the visibility of high-quality, coordinated, team-based care that is informed by best practice models for interprofessional education. The CC-IPECP will be a focal point in a growing national effort to foster IPECP among health professions.
