The Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation and The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recently hosted a conference to advance inter-professional education in schools of medicine and nursing. The Macy and Carnegie foundations believe that if students in the health professions learn jointly in clinical settings, as graduates they will improve patient outcomes by working more collaboratively, communicating better with each other, and leading health care reform that assures patients quality.
“Educating Nurses and Physicians: Toward New Horizons” explored implementation of reforms in nursing and medical education called for by the Carnegie Foundation’s studies, Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation and Educating Physicians: A Call for Reform.
