Effective interprofessional healthcare team (IHT) collaboration can reduce medical errors, which leads to improved patient outcomes and more effective resource utilization. While research has traditionally looked at the role of the leader in such collaborations, there has recently been a shift in the landscape to focus on both followers and leaders.

This webinar will

  • Provide an overview of past research trends and historical conceptualizations of followership in IHTs.
  • Share current ideas and discuss the direction followership research in IHTs is headed.
  • Take a deep dive into real-world cases of military IHTs to examine the qualities of leadership and followership that contribute to their success.
