Interprofessional Education
Interprofessional Education (IPE) at CUW provides opportunities for students enrolled in health and human services programs to learn and train together. The goal is for collaborative learning, where students build their IPE communication skills, as well as knowledge base and understanding of other health and human service specialties, in order to fully appreciate how interprofessional education and practice positively impacts and nurtures patient-centered care.
IPE Mission Statement
We develop students in mind, body, and spirit to collaborate effectively within an interprofessional environment.
Vision
We carry out this IPE Mission to be regionally and nationally recognized for meaningful interprofessional education of our students as they learn and train for professional careers.
Core Objectives
To provide students opportunities for growth:
- In interprofessional competencies
- Through team-building activities and collaboration

We pursue our IPE mission, vision and objectives in the following ways:
