Advancing Collaborative Practice

The Interprofessional Education Program encourages students to work in groups.

Sargent’s Interprofessional Education (IPE) Program encourages students across departments to further their understanding of various healthcare professions and develop the skills they need to excel working in teams. Craig Slater, director of interprofessional education and practice, is working with faculty to implement the curriculum.

Beginning in fall 2017, students in the graduate programs of athletic training, nutrition, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology are participating in interactive online modules that address the core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice. They will also work in groups to develop teamwork skills, understand various professions, and devise collaborative plans for practice.
