ABSTRACT
The Institute of Medicine advocates redesigning the health care system through interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice. These strategies are game changers. Western University embraces this paradigm shift with an IPE curriculum for all students in 13 health care disciplines. Further, the College of Dental Medicine's innovations in community-based dental education and local programs such as the Children's Dental Care Project are preparing students as future interdisciplinary teams to improve patient care.
