Abstract
Interprofessional education interventions are effective at improving the ability of health professionals to work well in teams, to communicate effectively with patients and their families, to respect and appreciate each other's unique and complementary roles in healthcare, and to develop shared values that help sustain collaboration. Yet the definitions and implications of these competencies for telehealth practice need to be clarified. This article reviews and presents the evidence on the development of interprofessional competencies and the implications of these competencies for health professional education. This article also proposes ways in which interprofessional compe-tencies can be incorporated into telehealth practice.
