o The CIHC is made up of health organizations, health educators, researchers, students and health providers primarily from Canada, but also all over the world
Why is the CIHC Important to Canadian Healthcare?
o Evidence shows that interprofessional education and collaborative patient-centred practice can positively impact not only the health system but the patient experience as well.
