Regional Campus Approach to Interprofessional Education for Healthcare Students

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to describe and discuss the development and implementation of an interprofessional educational (IPE) program for students on a regional medical campus. IPE is important in training the next generation of health care professionals. Regional medical campuses often have reduced IPE activities due to limited resources and their distance from their main campuses. However, regional campuses can also provide opportunities for innovative solutions to provide IPE learning experiences. This article demonstrated how one regional campus created innovative opportunities to meet student needs.
