The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report Health Profession Education: A Bridge to Quality (2003) came to several conclusions around the issues confronting health professions education. Which of the following issues was addressed in the report?
A) The tendency of each health discipline to educate and practice independently of the other
disciplines
B) The lack of recognition of credentials and the credentialing process outside of the field of
nursing
C) The trend toward managed care and the inability of nursing educators to adapt to this
change
D) The historical animosity between nursing and medicine and the failure to bridge this gap
Ans: A
The IOM noted that each health profession tends to educate, practice, and dialogue
within a "silo." These narrowly constructed walls make it difficult for interdisciplinary
collaboration to occur. The report does not focus on the relationship between medicine and
nursing, the trend toward managed care, or the lack of recognition of credentials.
