Interprofessional Education: Equipping You to be a Leader
Perhaps you’ve heard it said that ‘the future of health care is collaborative.’ At MBKU, we couldn’t agree more.
That’s why we’re leading the way in providing interprofessional education (IPE) for all our students— optometry, PA and pharmacy—and supplying a leading-edge clinical environment in which they can expand and apply that knowledge: The Ketchum Health Center in Anaheim.
How IPE Prepares You
Taught by MBKU faculty, IPE is an innovative teaching approach that emphasizes communication, safety and quality of care. It prepares students of different disciplines to work in teams to deliver the best possible patient experience and outcomes.
At MBKU, you’ll have many opportunities to learn with and work alongside students from our other specialties--to step into their shoes and see patient care from a different medical perspective.
Your IPE Experience
Teaching you the skills and knowledge that lead to better care and outcomes is the ultimate goal of interprofessional education. To that end, we’ve structured the IPE curriculum into five integrated, phases:
- Phase one: interprofessional co-curricular and social events
- Phase two: teaching through group activities
- Phase three: teaching through simulation and standardized patients
- Phase four: teaching interprofessional practice at Ketchum Health
- Phase five: interprofessional rotation through a clinical experience
