What is the purpose of IPE in Health and Health Sciences?
Interprofessional education emphasizes collaboration between health professionals and students of different disciplines to learn about, from, and alongside one another so that they can build the skills needed to work collaboratively to improve the health of their patients and their communities.
Our collaborative has built health education programs and opportunities open to students of all health disciplines to provide them with opportunities for team-based practice, research, and co-learning environments in the classroom and the community. We aim to deepen student engagement with their communities through partnerships that bring diverse health disciplines together early in their educational careers, building collaborative practice into their professional identities.
