Last week, we launched a series called Teaming at a Distance to share practical ways to work as virtual teams and to teach teamwork and collaboration at a distance. The tips and stories come from things we’ve learned through our own work as a remote team, from education and practice members of the Arizona Nexus, and from our national interprofessional colleagues and networks.   

Dr. Karen J. Saewert starts us off with a look at what makes interprofessional education and practice meaningful.
