CAIPPER IPE Curriculum Committee

CAIPPER’s IPE Curriculum Committee was established in May 2024 and serves to establish IPE curricula for pre-qualification learners and practicing professionals that is evidence-based, intentionally designed to flexibly meet the needs of a wide range of learners and grounded in principles of adult learning and interprofessional collaborative practice and that are aligned with the goals of the Quintuple Aim. IPE Curriculum Committee will serve to deliver on the Educational Mission detailed in the CAIPPER Proposal for Steering Committee, namely, to:

  • Promulgate best practices through traditional and innovative learning experiences, including
    developing for-credit courses and prepared curriculum materials that can be integrated both
    into existing for-credit coursework within programs and into co-curricular education.
  • Curriculum materials will be designed so that these are adaptable for use in undergraduate,
    graduate, professional, and continuing professional education.
  • The initial focus will be on the continuing development of curriculum materials that are
    integrated into existing coursework within participating programs at UIC.
  • The Center plans to expand curriculum in phases, moving from developing and overseeing
    non-credit bearing curriculum materials and developing materials for use in for-credit
    courses, to offering new courses housed in the OVCHA that can be offered as electives to
    current health profession students and can be used for professional development purposes.
  • The courses will also form a core for a certificate program in the future
