Get Involved – Learn about, from, and with CIPE!
The Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CIPE) is seeking passionate clinical facilitators to educate the learners in our collaborating educational programs of audiology, genetic counseling, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy and physical therapy.
Participation and engagement in interprofessional education is integral to faculty promotion and advancement because one of our core OT Program outcomes is that our students become competent interprofessional practitioners. Faculty engagement in CIPE activities is a direct way to demonstrate their contribution to our students’ development in this core skillset
