I just wanted to comment that I thought your questions were very poignant and really appropriate, especially for the audience and for the witnesses that are here today.
I also wanted to add that it's not just the funding. It's not just giving another bunch of money to people to look at creative projects. There has to be a long-term and sustainable strategy.
In my experience, in the past four years of delivering interprofessional education sessions, where eight health science learners are educated together, we see a lot of things happen. We see, actually, the falling away of barriers, and it's not just a team being plunked together and sharing space. It has to be a team that actually works together, seamlessly, without barriers, and we see that through the educational process.
When we put learners through a week-long or a five-week-long module and they're learning together, they're learning curriculum, and embedded in that curriculum are all kinds of concepts of team-based care and group dynamics and conflict resolution. You see those barriers fall away, and that's when patients really benefit. Those are the types of care and innovative strategies you want to fund. It really has to be that way.
