Background/Rationale:
Interprofessional collaborative practice significantly improves patient outcomes, reduces mortality and enhances quality-of-life.
Person-focused care demands collaboration among professions in a team approach to address multiple issues including illness, prevention, and health promotion activities.
Key elements of successful implementation of interprofessional education supported by Clinical Care Plan, Interprofessional Course (CCPIC):
-Increasing knowledge of the roles, responsibilities, and competencies of multiple health professions.
-Collaborating in teams
-Recognizing the patient as the expert
-Communicating effectively
Course Statistics:
-176 students from various disciplines completed course (2008-2011).
Disciplines include:
-Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Pharmacy

BACKGROUND: Airway surface liquid, often referred to as mucus, is a thin layer of fluid covering the luminal surface that plays an important defensive role against foreign particles and chemicals entering the lungs. Airway mucus contains various macromolecules, the most abundant being mucin glycoproteins, which contribute to its defensive function. Airway epithelial cells cultured in vitro secrete mucins and nonmucin proteins from their apical surface that mimics mucus production in vivo. The current study was undertaken to identify the polypeptide constituents of human airway epithelial cell secretions to gain a better understanding of the protein composition of respiratory mucus.
