Background: Strengthening the bridge between interprofessional education and interprofessional collaborative practice to expand the integration of effective team-based health care requires new models within the health care system. Recent calls in the literature have asked for interprofessional research to do a better job of incorporating theories and explanatory models. We propose the use of organizational learning theory as an approach to modeling and supporting interprofessional collaborative practice. Methods: The current paper applies the five disciplines of organizational learning to the organization of interprofessional education competencies and course objectives in a university interprofessional education program. Results: The model also provides a guide for healthcare administrators who may utilize organizational learning theory and who support the enhancement of interprofessional collaborative practice. Conclusion: Future research could work to evaluate these objectives and competencies of health professions graduates to see how individuals contribute to organizational learning and change once in the field.
