Description: 

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) has encouraged Interprofessional Education (IPE) in the area of health, with the aim of fostering the search for addressing local needs for patient care, job satisfaction, and recognition of the health team.

Among the experiences in the Region of the Americas, PAHO/WHO organized a meeting with countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to present experiences of IPE and to propose a regional agenda to discuss the topic. Even so, the recommendations reinforce the importance of interprofessional education taking place in service and with strong articulation between educational institutions and health services.

In this sense, discussing and analyzing the limits and potentialities of nurses’ training may help in the proposition and implementation of training strategies for professionals.

This webinar is part of the project "Interprofessional Education of Nurses", developed as part of the activities of the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center for Nursing Research Development, of the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, University of São Paulo (EERP/USP).
