Creating the Health Care Team of the Future: The Toronto Model for Interprofessional Education and Practice

Abstract

The authors of this book cite several reports, including the Institute of Medicine's To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System [1], to explain the need for a different approach to health care in the twenty-first century. The model outlined in Creating the Health Care Team of the Future: The Toronto Model for Interprofessional Education and Practice was developed at the University of Toronto and the fourteen teaching hospitals that constitute the Toronto Academic Health Science Network.
