Curriculum Overview

This 16-credit minor is an elective option for undergraduate students interested in a career in health-related professions.

The IPE curriculum is designed to move students from understanding the need for and developing foundational skills in interprofessional practice to a broad understanding of the challenges in the health care system to provide equable access to high-quality health care, and coordinated, patient-centered care (滨笔贰听2100 Interprofessional Collaboration and Healthcare in Global Context (3 cr)).
