About Us
Background
The University of Manitoba Interprofessional Education Initiative (the Initiative) is comprised of students, faculty, administrators and staff from the University of Manitoba (UofM) who believe that interprofessional education and collaborative practice are fundamental in building a stronger health maintenance and care delivery system.
Guiding principles focus on key themes such as respect for other professions and their unique requirements, embedding interprofessional learning activities into UofM curriculum, recognition of the role students play in all aspects of interprofessional education, the inclusion of faculty and staff across UofM and the fostering of opportunities and research in interprofessional education and collaborative practice at UofM.
The Initiative was formed by the Deans of the health sciences academic units within the University of Manitoba (UofM). In creating the Initiative, the Deans recognized the need to have a program that fosters respect for all professions and their unique requirements, embeds interprofessional learning activities into UofM curriculum, recognizes the role students play in all aspects of interprofessional education, includes faculty and staff across UofM and fosters opportunities and research in interprofessional education and collaborative practice at UofM.
Since 2008, the Initiative has been led by Dr. Ruby Grymonpre. Under Dr. Grymonpre’s leadership the Initiative continues to grow. Please click here to view a power point presentation about the Initiative.
