Elisha, I agree with you with regards to adding more interprofessional educational (IPE) activities and should be added to all healthcare programs. Ideally, the aim of IPE is to encourage the concept of patient satisfaction and positive patient outcomes (Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2011). I believe this is concept should be taught among medical assistants (MAs). Furthermore, medical assistance play an integral role in the delivery of health care and are typically utilized to maintain an efficient clinic workflow, which in turns increases patient satisfaction. Unfortunately, I have had to work with some MAs that did not get this concept and IPE would allow them to understand how important their job is to everyone
