To Canadian student leaders involved with work in interprofessional education:

In enhancing and sustaining patient-centered primary health care, interprofessional education and collaborative care has been identified as one strategy that is paramount. While the efforts of health sciences and human services students to foster teamwork hold great significance, those who serve in mentor roles are also crucial in making strides in the movement.

We are excited to announce the call for recognizing mentors in interprofessional education for the 2010-2011 year to acknowledge their tireless encouragement, support, insight, and enthusiasm that have been instrumental to students and their work in IPE.
