Background and Interests

Eileen McKinlay is an Associate Professor and currently seconded as Director of the Centre for Interprofessional Education (IPE), Division of Health Sciences, University of Otago.

Interprofessional Education (IPE)

Interprofessional collaboration (good teamwork) in health care is known to lead to improved communication between the disciplines, reduced error and higher levels of patient and whanau satisfaction with health care services.

Research shows that students who have taken part in IPE are more likely to be teamwork ready at graduation. Eileen’s role is to ensure health sciences students at Otago University have access to IPE learning activities throughout their training programmes. Her role includes directing the rural immersion IPE programmes at Tairāwhiti and Te Tai Poutini.
