Abstrakt: Background: Does interprofessional caring exist in the health professions? How does interprofessional caring come into existence? These inquiries require a critical reflection to understand caring within the context of interprofessionality. Aim: To introduce the concept of interprofessional caring as it seeks permanence within the parlance of the health professions. Method: This concept paper provides a prefatory understanding about the interprofessional caring as a lingua franca of the health professions in developing a collaborative practice, transcending the profession through interconnectednesBs, and transforming practice through a universal language of caring. Results: The health professions require a communal practice rather than a practice characterized by antiquated and fragmented ideologies. Interprofessional caring is a meeting of the body-mind-soul, a mutuality in belonging-becoming-being, an ethical intimacy, an aesthetic expression of love, a connection, and a homily in celebrating-with, embracing-with, suffering-with, risk-taking for the love of others and a symbolic altruism. Conclusion: The interprofessional caring dismantles a self-domineering control and hierarchical view along with the socially structured dogma leading to a fragmentation of the practice. Hence, interprofessional caring solidifies the value of collaboration where all persons are viewed equally communing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
