In 2009 six health disciplines identified interprofessional education and collaboration competencies (IPEC) to guide cross-discipline clinical and educational practices. This article gives an example of an attempt to integrate IPEC into mental health counselor education through an interprofessional course taught to 111 students of health sciences and counseling. Implications for mental health counselor educators and final conclusions are discussed.
