IPE/IPP Research Across Health Professions

This list features a selection of recent systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, and guidelines on interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional practice (IPP) research from a variety of health professions. Each citation includes a link to the abstract on the publisher's website. The articles included were published in 2025. The list is updated annually to include any new studies published for that year.

Although many of the studies below do not focus on the CSD discipline, many of the findings are applicable to our work as audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs). These studies also can serve as a starting point for designing future research into how IPE/IPP impacts the CSD professions. 

Note: This list is not intended to be comprehensive and does not reflect ASHA’s endorsement of the content and/or views expressed by these authors. For more IPE/IPP research in the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology, see the Evidence Map and ASHA's Special Collection on Interprofessional Education/Interprofessional Practice.
