There is evidence to suggest enhanced teamness, heightened interprofessional values and practices, and even the potential for dilution of occupational status hierarchies within healthcare practice and delivery during the time of COVID-19. It is essential that we study these emergent changes using the lens of multilevel theory to better understand these recent developments and their current and future implications for interprofessional practice, education, and policy. Within this article, we first offer a brief overview of secondary data to highlight these COVID-19-specific shifts to provide context and perspective. We then outline prominent micro, meso, and macro-level theories, and propose accompanying rudimentary hypotheses and related general research questions to help guide, and ideally accelerate IPE and IPCP research related to this crisis. Our goal is to not only spotlight key areas for future research during and post COVID-19 but also provide a "starter kit" to encourage more theory-driven research (and theory-expansion) in the IPE and IPCP fields.

Introduction: Teaching learners the benefits and challenges of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) in acute care is best done in the context of authentic patient care rather than classroom settings. Yet differing clinical schedules of students and faculty as well as structured, controlled environments of intensive care units are not conducive to bringing multiple interprofessional learners to the bedside.

Article Synopsis
- The Lancet Global Independent Commission wants health education to focus on teamwork, critical thinking, and ethics to help students work better together in healthcare.
- They think that interprofessional education (IPE) could be a good way to teach this, but current efforts aren't showing clear positive results.
- To make IPE better, they suggest using a new framework that addresses the complicated nature of learning and teaching, and that teachers need to develop skills in guiding discussions and activities for students.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is vital for preparing a competent health workforce. Despite the proven benefits of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), barriers to its implementation persist. Given the importance of health professionals' perspectives for IPCP success, we investigated the perceptions of IPCP among final-year health science students at Khon Kaen University, Thailand, while they transition into practice.

Objective: Today's healthcare system requires interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) to improve health outcomes. IPCP often begins with interprofessional education (IPE), which should stimulate meaningful idea exchange. This study's purpose was to assess the impact of a photovoice-based IPE experience on the attitudes and beliefs of students in two health professions programs.

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) were developed to address the health needs of communities through collaborative practice across healthcare disciplines. The impact of IPE on IPCP and clinical service delivery in South Africa is not evident, possibly because of the lack of IPCP experiences among healthcare professionals.
Aim: International literature reports facilitators and barriers of IPCP implementation, but there was a need to filter the evidence to identify literature from the South African context regarding the perceptions of healthcare workers' perceived barriers and facilitators of IPCP.
