Vision, Mission, and Purpose
Vision
• To lead the education and development of health care
professionals and healthcare systems which exemplify best
practices in interprofessional care for the people and State of
Qatar and the region.
Mission
• The QIHC will focus on embedding interprofessional
collaboration in healthcare education and practice. Working with
partners locally, regionally, and internationally, the QIHC will lead
and foster collaborative interprofessional initiatives.
Purpose
• To provide a venue for communication and collaboration
regarding interprofessional education and practice.
Strategic Objectives
• To lead knowledge production, exchange,
application and evaluation in the field of inter-
professional education and practice.
Knowledge
Management
• To identify opportunities to provide expert advice,
support or resources to organizations or groups
implementing inter-professional collaborative
working or learning environments.
Capacity
Development
• To develop and promote strategic partnerships
with organizations to foster introduction and
integration of inter-professional collaborative
practices within their own operations.
Partnerships
Strategic Objectives
• To foster world-class models of inter-
professional collaboration within and
among partnering QIHC organizations
and sectors.
Role
Modeling
• To promote cooperative and coordinated
approaches to curricula/program
development and reform that ensure inter-
professional education is a requirement in
all health and human service education
and continuing education programs, inter-
professional competencies and
accreditation standards.
Curricula
• To work with policymakers, health
providers, patients, and researchers to
develop a research and evaluation agenda
that asks key questions and evaluates the
benefits of inter-professional education and
collaborative practice on health systems.

 ½ Day retreats (weekends) where intensive work
can be accomplished
Goals and Deliverables
• Primary: insuring a set of shared
competencies across disciplines
• Secondary: shared
understanding and respect for the
role that each plays in the delivery
of health care.
Goals
• A workable blueprint for an IPE
program in Qatar with
suggestions for an integrated
curriculum and guidelines for its
implementation
