While Interprofessional education (IPE) has existed as a powerful construct for many years, the advent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) in the United States (U.S.) has placed a new urgency on integration of an IPE model into the education of students in speech-language pathology and audiology. The American Speech- Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has embraced the IPE concept, and the ASHA Ad Hoc Committee on Inter professional Education has strongly recommended that ASHA support IPE within its academic curriculum for Audiologists and speech-language pathologists. As a result, it is very likely that ASHA will require that academic programs in its purview to train students, both academically and experientially, in IPE concepts and practices.
