Problem:
But we are talking here about a major shift in the working relationships between physicians and other disciplines. And coming from a nursing perspective, this is a 150-year-old problem. And there has to be a will on the part of medicine to give up power; it is not really giving up power, but that's the way they will see it. And if they don't want to do that, then interprofessional education is not going to work, even if you put all the disciplines in a room and you have all of these different disciplines teaching, it is still going to be us and them.
