The Health Professional Student Leadership Council (HPSLC) is an interprofessional group of healthcare students who strive to promote and advance the understanding of collaboration between all healthcare professions on the Washington University Medical Center campus and beyond. HPSLC works in parallel with the CIPE to promote and advance the understanding of interprofessional collaboration between all health professions on the Washington University Medical Center campus (audiology, genetic counseling, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, and physical therapy).

HPSLC holds various academic, social, and philanthropic events throughout the year to introduce students to one another, cultivate interprofessional relationships, and facilitate collaborative service efforts with the common goal of providing the most effective patient care. Check out the Events for Learners page to keep up with HPSLC events.
