The Center for Health Interprofessional Practice and Education brings students, faculty, and practitioners across health professions together to strengthen interprofessional collaborative practice and team-based care. We work across programs, schools, and institutions to advance team-based learning and promote IPE core competencies through courses, simulations, trainings, workshops, events, research, and scholarship. Explore the various ways we can collaborate here. 

UT Austin launched the Center for Health IPE with approval and start-up funds from the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. Prior to this launch, faculty champions spearheaded innovative interprofessional learning opportunities in health programs across campus. These efforts were strengthened by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) program grants and bolstered by Dell Medical School’s presence that emphasized IPE as a part of its vision. Deans from the College of Pharmacy, Dell Medical School, School of Nursing, and Steve Hicks School of Social Work stressed the need for a central IPE body on campus. They worked collaboratively with faculty champions at each school to see the Center for Health IPE come to fruition. These four health professions schools join with the College of Education, College of Natural Sciences, and the Moody College of Communication to help guide the center's strategic direction and sustainability.
