Accreditation as a driver of interprofessional education: the Canadian experience.

Background: The purpose of this study was to (1) explore evidence provided by Canadian health and social care (HASC) academic programs in meeting their profession-specific interprofessional education (IPE)-relevant accreditation standards; (2) share successes, exemplars, and challenges experienced by HASC academic programs in meeting their IPE-relevant accreditation standards; and (3) articulate the impacts of IPE-relevant accreditation standards on enabling interprofessional learning to the global HASC academic community.

Methods: Profession-specific (bilingual, if requested) surveys were developed and emailed to the Deans/Academic Program Directors of eligible academic programs with a request to forward to the individual who oversees IPE accreditation. Responses were collated collectively and by profession.

Rates of Abiotic Mn Oxidation by O: Influence of Various Multidentate Ligands at High pH.

Oxidation of manganous manganese (Mn) is an important process driving manganese cycles in natural aquatic systems and leading to the formation of solid-phase Mn (hydr)oxide products. Previous research has shown that some simple ligands (e.g.

Weight status and health characteristics of rural Saskatchewan children.

Introduction: The present and future health of children is significantly threatened by physical inactivity, poor diet, and the obesity epidemic.
