UW CIPE is a University Center supported by the UW Provost Office, and the Deans of the four health sciences schools – School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and School of Veterinary Medicine. The UW CIPE mission is to work collaboratively locally, nationally and globally to champion, integrate, and advance Interprofessional Practice and Education (IPE) to achieve the Quintuple Aim: better population health, better patient care, better value, better provider work experience, and better health equity. This LEAP host site will expose you to different healthcare professions such as Genetic Counseling, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Public Health, Social Work, and Veterinary Medicine, and how these disciplines work together to meet the needs of patients, their families, and the population. Students will also learn about the Healthy Aging Initiative (HAI) which focuses on educating interprofessional students about cognitive health and dementia through the lifespan while integrating core competencies of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC).
