Building Equitable Linkages With Interprofessional Education Valuing Everyone

The IPC training will be delivered to health team members who provide intrapartum and/or postpartum maternity care at each facility. Individuals with roles as maternity care providers, nurses, lactation consultants or doulas whose primary inpatient clinical assignment is maternity care will be included in the training. The training will consist of a pre-session module (about 60 minutes), a 90-minute interprofessional collaboration session, delivered using virtual reality head-sets, and post-session modules (about 60 minutes).
