Improving the quality of care performed by interprofessional teams has been a complex problem in health care for years.

The pandemic has required educators to adapt their pedagogies, methodologies, and learning environments suddenly and gradually. We have learned that a ‘One Size Fits All’ approach often yields ‘One Size Fits None’ realities.

At the University of Colorado’s Center for Interprofessional Practice & Education…
