Citizens Health Care Working Group (CHCWG). Why the idea was necessary An essential component of quality health care includes the ability of health care providers to work collaboratively in interprofessional teams. Interprofessional collaboration is rarely taught in traditional health care settings. Although there is growing interest in team-based teaching for specific health content areas, few, if any, programmes utilise team-based learning to teach collaboration on health care policy. We describe the use of an efficient team-based learning model for collaboration for interprofessional health care leaders developing national health care policy positions. What was done Over a period of 6 months, NAP members participated in structured, virtual discussions using a dedicated e-mail list service to address health care policy issues in the USA. The virtual discussions culminated with an all-day 2006 NAP National Forum designed to address interprofessional approaches to health care access with leaders from 10 health care professions. During the morning session, distinguished academic, advocacy and congressional leaders shared their views. This was followed by a 3-hour, team-based learning session in which participants (n = 101) worked in 9 self-led interprofessional groups to develop specific recommendations on access to health care. Each interprofessional small group focused on 2 of the 6 recommendations of the congressionally mandated CHCWG. These recommendations were:
