Interprofessional Practice and Education in Health Care

Abstract

Calls for increased collaborative practices in school psychology parallel similar advances in the realm of health care. This article overviews the concepts associated with collaborative practice in school psychology and in health care (e.g., interaction, teamwork, and collaboration) and discusses how the literature emerging from interprofessional practice (IPP) and interprofessional education (IPE; jointly termed as IPPE) initiatives in health care may be beneficial to school psychology in general, and training programs in particular.
