The Accreditation of Interprofessional Health Education (AIPHE) initiative, funded by Health Canada, is a national collaborative of eight organizations that accredit pre-licensure education for six Canadian health professions: physical therapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, social work, nursing and medicine.
The AIPHE initiative, established in the Fall of 2007, is in the second phase of its work which will end in March, 2011. This phase builds on the shared principles for accreditation of interprofessional health education (IPE) standards that were developed in phase one and will ensure the integration of IPE standards into the accreditation programs of the six participating health and social care programs.
