While communities and their institutions have the potential to add human and material resources to the mix, these partnerships have borders that are not easy to cross. Negotiating the barriers of trust, problem definition, and identified goals are only a few of the challenges inherent in this work. Despite this, complex interprofessional and cross-disciplinary partnerships can result in multidimensional, practice-oriented scholarship and professional preparation and practice. This potential is enhanced by the work of researchers and scholars who are helping to change the nature of the discipline-based, departmentally structured university by creating programs and initiatives that will advance interprofessional collaborations and the delivery of services." "Meeting at the Hyphen brings together the current scholarship of interprofessional practice, describing the enhanced teaching and learning that results; the new professional roles for school- and community-based practitioners; the emerging collaborative cultures on the university level; and the understandings that result."--Jacket.}, recid = {797169}, pages = {ix, 226 pages ;}, address = {Chicago, Ill. :}, year = {2003}, }
