title: The Macy Interprofessional Collaborative Project, the University of Washington.
abstract: Through multiyear grants awarded by the Macy and Hearst Foundations, the Macy Interprofessional Collaborative is in year two of developing a simulation-based, team training program. The program's overall goal is to improve the delivery of safe, high quality care by increasing interprofessional team communication. The training will be validated and incorporated into existing, credit-based curricula in health sciences schools and will include both a faculty development component and an exportable web-based toolkit for adaptation of the training at other health science institutions.
