A committee of educators from the University of Wyoming College of Health Sciences and Wyoming Center on Aging (WyCOA) is preparing to develop a consistent, interprofessional education experience for students from all divisions and schools throughout the college.
Interprofessional education involves students and educators from two or more professions in health and social care learning together during all or part of their professional training. The goal is to cultivate collaborative practice for providing client- or patient-centered health care.
To advance the committee’s initiatives, several members recently attended the T3 Interprofessional Team Development Program. The T3 program is an immersive leadership training program in designing and implementing effective interprofessional education projects.
