Interprofessional Education

The Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education (CCHPE) at Memorial University of Newfoundland developed an Interprofessional Education (IPE) Project, Collaborating for Education and Practice: An Interprofessional Education (IPE) Strategy for Newfoundland and Labrador Project.
