Interprofessional Health Education (IPE)
During their studies, students will participate in at least six meaningful and relevant interprofessional collaborative learning experiences, as determined and approved by the School (see the tabs below for a list of possible IPE activities). These experiences will involve undergraduate or graduate students or professionals from at least four different health professions with natural affinities or linkages within the professional environment. At least one of these IPE experiences will take place in a practice setting. Practicum placements often provide students with the opportunity to work on interprofessional teams. These teams may include a variety of professionals such as parents/caregivers, teachers, resource staff, psychologists, early education specialists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, otolaryngologists, and radiologists, to name a few.
Following SCSD requirements, students must complete the IPE tracking form (see tab below) on an annual basis. The tracking form maps interprofessional collaborative learning experiences onto school requirements and will be graded by the School on a Pass/Fail basis. Completed tracking forms should be submitted to the SCSD Administrative Secretary at the end of each academic year.
