The “Interprofessional Education for Collaborative Person-centred Practice through the Humanities” project (IECPCP-Humanities) was a 2-year initiative aimed at helping students learn about interprofessional teamwork. The main project goal was to provide health professional learners with planned interactions within an interprofessional team setting during their clinical rotations. As they worked with a chosen patient and family, they used a framework of the Humanities to reflect on the health care system and the impact of illness on the patient and family through the lens of interprofessional collaborative team practice. At the end of the project, we produced a bilingual, sustainable and replicable interprofessional learning module that incorporated the Humanities and that functions with any level of health professional learner in virtually any clinical practice settings, as well as a preceptor/professor Facilitator’s Guide.
