Abstract: Abstract Traveling through the United States (US) in 1831, the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville observed the unique culture of burgeoning American society. Capturing the pioneering spirit of the diverse land, he wrote in Democracy in America (Tocqueville, 2003), ‘America is a land of wonders, in which everything is in constant motion and every change seems an improvement.’ The principles of self-determination and democracy upon which the US was founded and described by Tocqueville have led to a society that values decentralized governance structures and entrepreneurial success. Within this milieu, America has proven to be a leader in innovation, particularly in adopting and enhancing the best ideas from other countries. Interprofessional education (IPE) appears primed to follow a similar path.
