Interprofessional education (IPE)  is the active participation of different health care professionals learning with, from and about each other to improve health outcomes.

The mission of the Office of Interprofessional Education, Faculty of Medicine, is to advance the knowledge, skills and attitudes of students in the health professions to inspire excellence in interprofessional patient and family centered collaborative practice by optimizing active learning opportunities through an educational culture promoting:

  • Interprofessional Education curriculum based on the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC, 2010) core competency framework
  • Faculty Development initiatives that promote IPE skills and scholarship
  • Leadership and scholarship in innovative IPE pedagogy

Students may access the courses in the OT curriculum and PT curriculum.
