Abstract
The teamwork that is required for interprofessional collaboration in healthcare is not an inherent attribute of the current system, and must be fostered. Education, training, and role modelling are important enablers. From our experience we posit that participating in a quality improvement project can be also be an excellent vehicle to promote interprofessional collaboration.
