Abstract: Interprofessional education (IPE) plays a crucial role in enhancing nursing practice and promoting collaborative care among healthcare professionals. This paper explores the impact of IPE on nursing practice, focusing on the development of teamwork, communication, and collaborative skills. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from collaborative practice assessments with qualitative insights from nurse participants. The findings reveal that IPE significantly improves the ability of nurses to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams, leading to better patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery. The paper discusses the key components of successful IPE programs and their implications for nursing education and practice, highlighting the need for integrated curricula and experiential learning opportunities.
