THE IMPORTANT OF INTER-PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (IPE) TO REMOVE CONFLICT INTER-PROFESSIONAL
The development of a nation can
be seen from how great the quality of education in it self country. As a developing country, Indonesia needs a little renovation education system. Education must bring and produce a positive image, but
sometimes can causes of conflict and negativity. If we talk about
education is very wide-ranging. Health sciences, natural sciences and social sciences
including education which sometimes make to conflict. We can take a small example in which a health professional each
other down when in the world of work. Each other no visible authority cooperation
and interpret what they have in the health sphere. For example, a nurse in Kutai,
East Kalimantan, named Misran prisoner was dragged to a chair and eventually found
guilty of providing prescription drugs to the community. In fact, according to
Law 36/2009 on Health was mentioned only doctors who are eligible to hard drugs.
(Tribunnews.com - Thursday, May 6, 2010 18:53 pm) The problems started from role
ambiguity, lack of communication, and most importantly, do not get the course interprofessional
education (IPE) while on campus. In this paper will discuss what it is and the importance
of interprofessional education (IPE) in the field of education.
IPE is not a new concept initiated.
The professors and health practitioners must
have heard the concept of IPE.
Actually there are many understanding about
IPE. According to The World Health Organization (WHO), IPE is “the
process by which a group of students or workers from the health-related
occupations with different backgrounds learn together during certain periods of
their education, with interaction as the important goal, to collaborate in
providing promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and other
health-related services.” (WHO, 1988). In
the United Kingdom, IPE is being used as a vehicle to drive health care-related
policy goals. For example, there is a plan within National Health Service (NHS)
in the Department of Health (DOH) that is requesting the creation of a single
program for all health care professionals
(Departement of Health, 2000). The goal of the
program is to lay a foundation to provide students and staff with the resources
they need to be able to change career paths with ease. This initiative will
also promote collaboration, team work, and creation of new working atmospheres. We can get poin from many understanding about IPE that
IPE is the cooperation between the various professions education.
We must mirror to the other
nations we need to do to make better health education. University of Minnesota and University
of Toronto has implemented a system of IPE in the
education system. University in
both the health of all learners should be
competent in collaborating at the time they graduate. The application of this started in early 2009. The componen of curriculum IPE in both of University

University of Minnesota. (1996,
September 1). A Report by the Academic Health Center Task Force on
Interdisciplinary Health Team Development. Accessed August 10, 2011, from
The conclusion is as a developing country and to reach
the goal MDGs, healthy communities, healthy indonesia, and many more. We must apply IPE in
our education system especially in health education system. There are three
point to realize and to implement IPE. First, definition of IPE should
be complete and clear so that no
overlap between the
health professions.
Second, IPE must consist
of some special
purpose that is easily understood
by students. Third, one set of core competencies should exist,
regardless of discipline and geographic location. My action plan is do campaign
about IPE and all health faculty must be combined in each University.
