OIPC Education develops and delivers curriculum focused on enriching collaborative skills for interprofessional practice for all first- and second-year students in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.
This team comprises an interprofessional team of faculty members from each of the five Rady Faculty Colleges: Dentistry/School of Dental Hygiene, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Rehabilitation Sciences.
A blended learning approach for students
All first-year learners across the Rady Faculty are placed into interprofessional teams, where they learn with, from and about one another over two years.
The roughly 600 learners per year currently stem from nine different health professional programs within the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences:
- Dental hygiene
- Dentistry
- Medicine
- Nursing
- Occupational therapy
- Pharmacy
- Physical therapy
- Physician assistants
- Respiratory therapy
A blended learning approach delivers foundational education in interprofessional collaborative practice, combining face-to-face synchronous activities with on-line facilitated asynchronous discussions, embedded within existing program courses.
