Interprofessional Education comes to Phoenix

By Phil Schneider, UA College of Pharmacy, director of administrative and professional affairs

To complement the ongoing activities in Tucson, a committee has been formed to develop plans for interprofessional education for students in the health sciences at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. Representing the UA College of Pharmacy on this committee are Jamie Joy, director of experiential education – Phoenix, and I. Representatives from UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University will met Aug. 11, with the intent to meet four times to explore ways to optimize teaching resources and the benefit of the different perspectives students from different disciplines bring to their learning. The results of this committee will not only affect curriculum plans for the health professions, but also assist in planning the Health Sciences Education Building on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus.
