Interprofessional Collaboration And Teamwork

But this type of collaboration rarely occurs (Bankston & Glazer, 2013). In this assessment you will consider what it takes to develop truly effective interprofessional collaborative teams.

Your article should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the title page and references page. Format this assessment following APA guidelines.
