Description
The book does much more than amass evidence. It revisits conventional wisdom; setting an agenda to help interested parties perform better by applying lessons learned, remedying weaknesses and renewing efforts to address unanswered questions. The first three chapters set the scene for the systematic review and its findings. The middle section of the book articulates the findings of the review. Finally, the closing chapters consider values and attitudes, theoretical perspectives and offer conclusions.
Arguments, assumptions and evidence in this publication are presented to inform policy making, programme planning, teaching and research.

Reviews
"In summary, this book is a valuable resource for anyone already involved in interprofessional education and for newcomers to the area. It provides a clear picture of the current position of IPE and offers a sound framework for future development."
Learning in Health and Social Care
"The authors have succeeded in synthesizing the evidence base for IPE and in so doing have established a knowledge base related to good IPE past and present programs. That accomplishment in itself is laudable; but the authors also have gone beyond that accomplishment and challenged the field to do better... and in the process have provided a blueprint for doing so."
