Coordinated efforts to value the contributions of each profession undertaken among health professions programs at the College of Nursing and Health Sciences (CNHS), at the UVM Medical Center in professional practice, Albany College of Pharmacy and at the Department of Nursing Faculty Practice have resulted in educational and team-based initiatives that improve patient outcomes and enhance patient and family satisfaction.

IPE requires commitment from UVM and community-based students and faculty, the mentors of our students and trainees, and those who employ our graduates. Interprofessional education (IPE) in CNHS supports learners in health professions programs to work together to cultivate knowledge and share responsibility for team-based holistic care of patients and clients in an increasingly more complex health care delivery system.
