this question is vague to me and could not understand what is the reason to ask such in detail question. when you use "if" in your question it means that you accepted that it may not occur at all and in such situation it is not understandable why you made the response to this question mandatory. unfortunately the process for application is so lengthy and the site is very user unfriendly which made me totally confused and upset. |

The major theme of the congress was interprofessional education. During 3 days of the congress this issue was explored in depth and from various perspectives.
The first day of the congress was devoted to preconference workshop. I have participated in two half day workshops about interprofessional education organized by Jill Thistlethwaite and Craig Zimitat. The opening ceremony was held at the evening of the first day with an interesting speech by Dr Abu Bakar Suleiman the president of International Medical University on important topics of health care system in different parts of the world and its challenges. The second day (fist day of main congress) has started with some plenary sessions on definition of Interprofessional education, how it could be implemented in different settings, experiences in different parts of the world by well known authorities such as Ronald Harden, and Jill Thistlethwaite. It has followed by some short communication sessions. In third day the IMU- Ronald Harden award nominees presented their works and finally by a great presentation on competency framework for interprofessional education. In afternoon of third day they has organized a very interesting debate by two teams of students about interprofessional education which has followed by a plenary session by Trudie Roberts which has criticized the interprofessional education. |
