The complex health care needs of today's society require health care professionals to work as a collaborative team. Safe, quality health care depends on the ability of the health care team to cooperate, communicate, and share skills and knowledge appropriately. Interprofessional education provides a collaborative approach for the development and mastery of these competencies. Simulation-based experiential learning is recognized as an effective way to promote interprofessional education teamwork.
