3 Defining ICP The World Health Organization defines Interprofessional Collaborative Practice as… “When multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds work together with patients, families, carer (sic) and communities to deliver the highest quality of care”

4 Why ICP Now? Why not? Our health care system is faultering and policy makers are looking for ways to improve the overall system. ICP is seen as key to the safe, high quality, accessible, patient-centered care desired by all. Achieving this vision requires reframing how healthcare providers operate and how health profession students are trained.

5 Panel of Experts In May 2011 a panel of experts were charged with identifying individual-level interprofessional competencies for future health professionals in training.
