Abstract
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is premised on providing the best quality of health care to patients and matching the best expertise of health care professionals to patient needs. In order for IPC to be accepted as the preferred practice or common way that professionals and patients interact with one another, they need to be adequately prepared and supported. IPC calls for a shift in culture regarding how we educate professionals, how professionals interact with one another, and how organizations are structured around professional practice (Herbert 2005).
Although innovative models of interprofessional education and practice have emerged in the literature (e.g. D’Amour and Oandasan 2005), there has been little attention paid to the ways in which clinical supervision can be leveraged to help professionals acquire interprofessional competencies for “learning with and from other each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care” (Barr et al. 2005: 31). Clinical supervisors are important role models for trainees; supervisors need to be both confident and capable of modeling the value of collaborative practice and provide trainees with learning opportunities on interprofessional teams.
