Center for Health IPE Committees

Preparing health professions students to be competent in interprofessional education and collaborative practice is a national mandate, a requirement that is now fully integrated into the accreditation standards of health professions programs. Through the committees below, we work with faculty, staff, and students across UT Austin to integrate intentional IPE in health professions' curricular and co-curricular experiences.

Health Professions Advisory Committee

The Health Professions Advisory Committee consists of academic deans, department chairs, and faculty who provide input on the accreditation and programmatic IPE needs for their respective programs; facilitate implementation of interprofessional learning experiences; and cultivate a supportive environment that encourages IPE innovations among their stakeholders.
