CAIPPER Summit 2026

The UIC community is invited to join us on October 14, 2026 to be at the leading edge of interprofessional scholarship and collaborative practice. This first convening of the CAIPPER Summit will prepare health professionals and students to meet the complex health needs of communities through collaboration, shared understanding and team-based skill development.

We are also calling for IPE poster presentations for the summit.
