Abstract
Interprofessional education is seen as a vehicle to facilitate collaborative practice and, therefore, address
the complex health needs of populations. A number of concerns have, however, been raised with the
implementation of interprofessional education. The three core concerns raised in the literature and
addressed in the article include the lack of an explicit framework, challenges operationalising interprofessional education and practice, and the lack of critical mass in terms of human resources to drive
activities related to interprofessional education and practice. This article aims to present lessons learnt
when attempting to overcome the main challenges and implementing interprofessional education
activities in a resource-constrained higher education setting in South Africa
