Interprofessional Education & Practice

We develop team-based clinicians who practice collaboratively, improve health outcomes and provide safe and equitable, client-centered care. High-functioning teams can upgrade the patient and family experience and decrease costs while insulating clinicians against burnout.

Our Center's commitment to interprofessional education at the IHP can be seen through innovative curriculum design, clinical experiences in our Sanders IMPACT Practice Center, events and projects.
