What is a Community of Practice?

• A group of people who share a common interest in a topic, a concern or a set of problems and who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals. 

• Focus on sharing best practices and creating new knowledge to advance a domain of professional practice. 

• Interaction on an ongoing basis is an important part of this.

• Professionals can share their practice experiences, develop and discuss areas of interests and build a sense of community.
