I watched and reviewed the video Competition of Interprofessional Collaboration, which covered four core aspects of interprofessional education collaboration. This video includes competencies pertaining to communications, roles, teamwork, and ethical practice. For instance, interprofessional collaboration aims to take advantage of the competence of various professions to ensure quality of work. The competencies, values and ethics component are upfront.
Bogossian & Craven (2020) observed a serious problem in public and private hospitals that lack teamwork. They noted the various disciplines team members undertake during training but must collaborate during practice to ensure safe, effective, and comprehensive patient care.

Functional interprofessional collaboration is integral in delivering optimal health care and promotion. Successful interprofessional collaboration is important for nursing students, such as myself, as it is a concept and skill that is applicable to multiple contexts.
