Utilizing curriculum renewal as a way of leading change in Australian health professional education

Abstract

Health systems globally are engaged with major reforms focused on the need to deliver more responsive, effective and sustainable health services. Interprofessional practice (IPP), and the development of interprofessional educational (IPE) targeted at enabling IPP, sit at the heart of many of these reforms. IPP enabled by IPE could be argued as the practice foundation for achieving new and more effective forms of health service provision and health professional practice (World Health Organization, 2010; Gittell et al., 2013).
