Collaborating Across Borders IV will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia June 12-14, 2013.  

Collaborating Across Borders IV (CAB IV) is the fourth Canada-United States joint conference focusing on an exploration of common issues around interprofessional education (IPE) and practice (IPP). It builds upon the highly successful CAB I (University of Minnesota, October 2007), CAB II (Dalhousie University, May 2009), and CAB III (University of Arizona, November 2011) meetings where educators, clinicians, researchers, policy makers and students on both sides of the border engaged in rich and productive dialogue regarding interprofessional education, practice and research.  The Collaborating Across Borders conference series is the a signature event of the American Interprofessional Health Collaborative in partnership with our Canadian partners, the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative.
