NEWSLETTER – ISSUE 24 – 2015
I
nterprofessional education is a continuous and nec-
essary process that, in our opinion and according to
a growing body of literature, is crucial for future health
care professionals (Suter, et al., 2009). Fostering attitudes,
knowledge and behaviours in interprofessional and client/pa-
tient-centered collaboration in emerging young health care
professionals is important and well needed in order to im-
prove our health care system and enhance the quality of care
to our clients/patients/families.
This year the Queen’s Health Interprofessionals Society
(QHIP) hosted the 2015 National Health Sciences Students’
Association’s (NaHSSA) conference and National Health
Care Team Challenge™ at Queen’s University on March 6/7.
The conference was attended by over 100 delegates, includ-
ing students and health care professionals from various dis-
ciplines across the country. “Putting the Care Back into
Health Care” formed the theme, emphasizing the dual im-
portance of caring for patients while highlighting the impor-
tance of self-care for health care providers. Dr. Lesley
