title: Interprofessional practice: learning how to collaborate.
abstract: Interprofessional practice is a way of practicing that is based on collaboration. We cannot assume that health professionals have either the skills or attributes required for interprofessional practice. They may need to learn how to collaborate. Developing interprofessional practice requires a commitment to engage in shared learning and dialogue. Dialogue has the potential to encourage collegial learning, change thinking, support new working relationships, and improve client care.
