Leading the Way in Interprofessional Education

91直播视频is a nationally recognized leader in interprofessional education (IPE) and the only institution in New England that鈥檚 part of the prestigious Innovation Network of the National Center for Interprofessional Education and Practice.

At UNE, IPE brings students from multiple disciplines together to learn with, from, and about each other. This approach builds mutual understanding, strengthens communication, enhances teamwork, and prepares students to lead in a collaborative workforce.

Originally rooted in the health professions, IPE at 91直播视频trains students to work across fields as integrated, high-functioning health care teams. This approach has proven to produce successful patient outcomes, and the model is now expanding so it can be applied to broader situations.

Collaborative practice is the professional application of IPE, with people from different backgrounds and with different areas of expertise working together to deliver a higher quality of service and care to achieve common goals.

People achieve more together than they ever could alone. At UNE, interprofessional education provides the foundation for that kind of meaningful collaboration.

Three U N E healthcare students collaborate around a medical training mannequin in a hospital simulation room. The mannequin patient lies on a hospital bed with IV equipment and medical monitoring devices visible in the background, demonstrating hands-on interprofessional clinical training.

Interprofessional education is a huge perk of UNE鈥he opportunities to work together on different kinds of projects and to be able to train together is incomparable. It prepares us for the real world.鈥
