Interprofessional education—situations of a university in Hong Kong and major hurdles to teachers and students
Studies have provided evidence that Interprofessional Education (IPE) can improve learners’ attitudes, knowledge, skills, behaviors, and competency.

Stroke recovery is a complex, multidimensional and heterogeneous process. Volunteer engagement improves the delivery of interventions in stroke rehabilitation programs but is under-utilized due to poor role clarity and other program-related concerns. We evaluated healthcare providers' and volunteers' perceptions of volunteer engagement in an 8-week self-management program that provided self-management support for community-dwelling stroke survivo…

Fifty stroke survivors were recruited from two tertiary teaching…
