IPC Receives National Academies of Practice’s Interprofessional Group Recognition Award
The National Academies of Practice Interprofessional Group Recognition Award is presented to a group who has made enduring contributions to interprofessional practice and education. This year the award had two recipients including the Interprofessional Professionalism Collaborative (IPC).
The IPC was established in 2006 to bring health profession organizations together to discuss what professionalism “looks like” for each of the professions represented within the group.
