There are several IPE opportunities for students to engage and learn from one another to promote interprofessional collaboration as both students and future health care professionals.

Students will gain the skills to collaboratively work on healthcare delivery teams to support the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) Quadruple Aim:

  • Improve the health of populations
  • Improve patient satisfaction with the experience of care
  • Improve provider well-being
  • Reduce the per capita cost of health care

The mission of UIC’s curriculum in interprofessional collaboration focuses on our graduates having an exceptional understanding of the social determinants of health, the skills to address health disparities and a deep appreciation of the principles of patient and family centered care.
