Abstract
In 1969, a paper entitled ‘Interprofessional education in the health sciences: A project conducted at the University of British Columbia’ was published in the Milbank Quarterly (Szasz, 1969). In the ensuing 40-plus years, much progress has been made in realizing interprofessionalism in health sciences education. Nevertheless, many of the issues discussed by Szasz four decades ago remain true to this day.
‘All of these diverse members of the health team should be brought together during their undergraduate years, taught by the same teachers, in the same classrooms and on the same patients’ (McCreary, 1964)
