Abstract
The “Linköping IPE model” at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Linköping University in Sweden has now yielded over 25 years of practical experience and development of interprofessional education (IPE) curricula. It is one of the first systematic attempts to organise IPE academically (Areskog, 1994; Wilhelmsson et al., 2009). Before 1986, medical students at Linköping University spent their first 2 years of preclinical training at the University of Uppsala and the last 3½ years in Linköping, following a conventional medical curriculum. The prospect that the government might shut down the Uppsala–Linköping collaboration in medical education started a process of re-evaluation of the education of health and social care professionals in Linköping.
