Abstract

The ability to generate sustainable, mutually beneficial, interprofessional teams becomes a critical skill for today’s emerging professionals. Team work starts by forming solid relationships; in academe, these relationships are often community-university partnerships.  Relationships-as-collaboratives can be developed to bridge the intellectual resources of academe with the need for professional continuing education units through a blending of interrelated paradigms.
