Together we stand, divided we fall: Interprofessional collaborative practice competencies from Malaysian medical professionals' perspectives

ABSTRACT

Objective: As the demands on the health care system are increasing, there are more calls to embed interprofessional education [IPE] into health professionals' curriculum. However, the outcomes for the curriculum are still being defined, and there is limited information about IPE in medical contexts to guide educators. This study aims to explore medical professionalism from the perspective of Malaysian medical professionals and specifically the interprofessional collaborative practice [ICP] competencies that are expected from physicians in Malaysian medical contexts
