Based on the authors’ experience in interprofessional education (IPE), this chapter reflects on how communication is currently taught as one of four interprofessional core competencies. It defines interprofessional education, presents commonly used frameworks for teaching interprofessional competencies, and discusses how each framework envisages communication. These frameworks include: the CIHC’s National Interprofessional Competency Framework; the IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice framework; and the Collaborative Practice and Patient Partnership in Health and Social Services Competency Framework developed at the authors’ university. The chapter discusses how patients can be implicated as partners in interprofessional education and it outlines common challenges to teaching interprofessional competencies as well as strategies for overcoming them.
