Sometimes I wonder how we got here.  About a decade ago, there were just a few small IPE conferences and it was common to see the same people at each one. There were a handful of well-known programs that we all wanted to be like when our IPE programs grew up.  And here we are in 2019, with health care leaders, policy makers, accreditors, providers, educators and many others all working to assure that our current and future workforce is prepared for high performance teamwork across professions.

This is the story of a journey that began when I joined the Arizona State University Center for Advancing Interprofessional Practice, Education and Research, or CAIPER, as Faculty Lead of Clinical Partnerships. It ended two years’ later with the publication of The Preceptor’s Guide to the Nexus: Where Interprofessional Education Meets Collaborative Practice.  At the time, I had no idea where this path would lead.

I began writing this blog some weeks back. At the time, we all were just beginning to grasp the magnitude of what we would experience with COVID-19. The stories coming from the front lines of health care were powerful and concerning. Health care workers were stepping forward in the face of huge risks: If I go to work today, will I put my family at risk? If I don’t, will I fail my patients, my team?
