The role of national culture in shaping health workforce collaboration: Lessons learned from a case study on attitudes to interprofessional education in Malta
Interprofessional collaboration has been identified as a key mechanism to ensure that health systems can effectively address new and emerging challenges, including non-communicable diseases [1]. Professional health care education is a cornerstone of health workforce governance [2] yet fragmented and static curricula are producing graduates bereft of the appropriate competencies for effective teamwork [3]. Interprofessional Education (IPE) has been proposed as a means to create a collaborative practice-ready workforce better equipped to address challenges faced by health systems worldwide and improve health outcomes [4].
