 Closing ReflectionsJill Thistlethwaite Chapter 15 in Leadership Development for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice, 2014, pp 245-251 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Being involved in editing this book has been a journey for me in many ways. I have been involved in interprofessional education (IPE) for over two decades and prior to that had been working in a collaborative sense in a primary healthcare team as a general practitioner (family physician) without knowing or having heard about ‘interprofessional practice’ (IPP). This book has reminded me again of why both IPE and IPP are important not only to me but for the communities we serve as health professionals. I have jour- neyed backwards into the early days of IPE and forwards into its potential for transforming healthcare and education in many countries around the world. The focus on leadership has also helped me reflect on the similari- ties and differences between being a ‘leader’ and being an interprofessiona ‘champion’ and the journey to become either or both of these. Obviously we cannot define ourselves as leaders and champions without external valida- tion but the stories presented here help us realize what such validation may be based upon.
