  • Summary

  • In this posting, I argue that training doctors and nurses separately can be problematic, leading to challenges in teamwork, communication, and understanding each other's roles. It outlines six key reasons why separate training is problematic: it reinforces role silos, hinders communication, creates a lack of understanding of each other's roles, inhibits patient-centred care, increases the risk of errors, and creates a barrier to healthcare system improvements. The excerpt then highlights the benefits of interprofessional education (IPE), where doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals train together on shared competencies, leading to enhanced collaborative skills and better preparedness for a more cohesive, effective, and responsive healthcare system.
