Interprofessional Education

We've been committed to interprofessional education for over 40 years through innovative curriculum design, clinical experiences in our Sanders IMPACT Practice Center, events and projects. From classrooms to clinics to research, students learn to lead and collaborate across disciplines for better patient outcomes.

Committed to Health Equity

We prepare students to address real-world disparities with data, empathy, and culturally responsive care. We embed health equity into every aspect of education, including curriculum, community partnerships, research, and clinicals, which prepares our graduates to lead efforts in improving outcomes for all.

Community Engagement

From student organizations to global health trips, our students, staff and faculty spread knowledge, resources, and their time within communities. This focus generates unique opportunities to grow and work together. Understanding the effect of a person's environment on their health and wellbeing is essential for a healthcare workforce.
