Learn foundational teamwork skills.

The three-part IPE Core Curriculum is aimed at developing a foundational understanding of other health professionals’ roles and responsibilities, and the skills needed to effectively collaborate with a diverse healthcare team. The curriculum is designed to give students an intentional and step-wise introduction to IPE and collaborative practice, while helping them to meet their programs’ accreditation requirements for IPE.

Below you will find a brief description of each of the three parts of the Core Curriculum and information about how to register for the sessions. In 2024-25 all sessions will take place in-person in the Health Sciences Education Building.

How to complete the IPE Core Curriculum. 1) Complete a Part 1 Session. Introduce the benefits of working together, learn foundational concepts and skills for effective teamwork, and begin practicing these skills through hands-on learning. 2) Complete a Part 2 Session. Practice working together through interactive case discussions, learning/practicing important clinical skills that are shared by multiple professions, and/or working together in the community. 3) Complete a Part 3 Session. Reflect and make meaning of your IPE experiences. You will be provided tools and other resources to continue this aspect of your professional identify development.

Health sciences students, please look out for information from your programs about the specifics of your school’s IPE requirements. Students required to complete the Core Curriculum are asked to register themselves for Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.
