This report summarizes the Inohana Interprofessional Education （Inohana IPE） program and describes its current achievements and improvement process. Since 2007, a total of 5,679 students have participated in the program. Students who have graduated include 335 from the Faculty of Nursing, 197 from the Faculty of Medicine, 84 from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
　Through Inohana IPE we have created an environment that encourages students’ self-directed learning and the setting of behavioral objectives and have refined the program contents and evaluation method. As the first phase of the improvement, we developed competencies for interprofessional collaboration with 6 components and then created a matrix of learning-achievement goals and 4 learning steps based on the competencies. Furthermore, the number of faculty members participating in the program has increased.
　The two main tasks for the future are to develop an IPE program for nursing and to integrate IPE for basic education and continuing education.
