Health care today incorporates the multidisciplinary team approach for holistic patient management in every discipline. It necessitates the inclusion of interprofessional education (IPE) in the medical education and training system to equip future doctors to adapt it for better patient outcomes. This article aims to draw attention of the stakeholders and policymakers toward the role of IPE in the medical curriculum.
