This institute is designed to introduce or expand interprofessional revention education (IPE) initiatives on campuses and in communities.  The primary goal is to address high-priority health problems by advancing interprofessional training and increasing the emphasis on prevention in health professions education programs.  The plenary sessions address ways to create an academic environment conducive to advancing IPE, clinical  prevention and population health programs, and evaluation strategies for identifying and measuring outcomes.

 

A variety of resource materials were made available for attendees to enable further refinement of the interprofessional prevention initiatives they were planning to implement on their campuses and in their communities. Many of the handouts and PowerPoint slide presentations can be found on the PERC--Prevention Education Resource Center website.

 

Other goals of the Institute are:

  • To encourage the design and implementation of substantive IPE projects
  • To increase the expertise (knowledge and skills) of faculty interested in IPE and enhance their ability to become change agents within their institutions
  • To create a network of colleagues interested in spearheading national curricular reform
