Interprofessional collaborative practice can be achieved by overcoming three elements which act as barriers to collaborative practice: organizational structuralism, power imbalance, role socialization. There are two kinds of power imbalances; role conflict and goal conflict. These occur when members unequally exercise their power within the capacities of their roles and in planning health care. In order for true interprofessional collaborative practice to occur, these power imbalances need to be resolved among all members of the group. Barriers: protecting turf, hard to get one class of students together lack of understanding re: roles.
