In today’s changing landscape of the US health care system, it is imperative to have a health care delivery model that is patient-centered and delivered by a multidisciplinary collaborative team with an understanding of each other’s roles and responsibilities as well as communicate effectively. Academic institutions must create partnerships with health systems and ambulatory care settings to provide health profession students with authentic and inclusive interprofessional learning opportunities which include practice-ready skills which are needed to enter the health care workforce. Nurses are well positioned to lead this effort and practice within interprofessional teams in health care organizations.
