The UT Academy of Interprofesional Student Peer Consultants is a joint effort between the McCombs School of Business and the Center for Health IPE that pairs trained student consultants with student groups to work on a community-based project using an interprofessional lens. The Academy's goal is for student peer consultants to bring their respective profession’s perspectives into real-world student projects, providing value to peers and to the community. Student peers with advanced knowledge of their own field will provide consultations on community-based projects conducted by students from another major/profession.
