INPRO - Interprofesionalism in action

Interprofessional Collaboration in Rehabilitation (INPRO) Course

The INPRO course is a comprehensive exploration of interprofessional education and collaboration (IPECP) in rehabilitation, addressing the gap between educational training and real-world professional practice. This course is based on the outcomes of the European INPRO project, an initiative co-funded by the EU to align health and social care training with the demands of rehabilitation practice.

Through this course, you will gain insights into interprofessionalism in action. The materials include modules on the WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), tools for assessing interprofessional skills, and advanced approaches like student-run learning wards. These modules and tools are designed to integrate into both core curricula and ongoing professional development for educators and practitioners.

Participants will explore how to enhance collaboration between higher education institutions and rehabilitation centers to improve patient care and outcomes. The course also includes interactive components like online global classrooms and real-world insights from professionals in rehabilitation centers across Europe.

This initiative represents a unique collaboration among institutions from Austria, Belgium, Finland, and the Netherlands, and their associated rehabilitation centers. Together, they bring expertise in designing, testing, and implementing innovative interprofessional practices for education and care.
