Abstract

 At first, we reviewed interprofessional education in our country and introduced the conventional efforts being made by the Japan Society for Medical Education (JSME). Next, we listed academic societies of other medical and welfare occupations on medical and welfare engaged in education and explored collaboration with JSME. I introduced my own experience with Japanese Association of Medical Technology Education and discussed the possibility of developing cooperation among academic societies from my personal connections. As a concept after ten years, we thought about measures to allow members from each organization to participate in the academic meetings of JSME and other societies at low cost. In addition, we set up "the Interprofessional Education Committee on Medical and Welfare" at JSME and mentioned the collaboration with the Japan Association for Interprofessional Education and the necessity to build a foundation for interprofessional education.
