Interprofessional Education (IPE) can be defined as two or more professions learning with,
from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care (Hutchings, Scammell, &
Quinney, 2013, p. 359). A theoretical framework for IPE is explored along with various applications for
advanced generalist social work practice. Finally, an IPE healthcare simulation training with a group of
master's level social work students and undergraduate nursing students from Wichita State University is
described, with potential implications for practice and education.
