About the T3 Interprofessional Team Development Program
General Information
Team Composition
A minimum of three individuals from at least two different professions are required to participate. Teams are encouraged to have a mix of professionals from academia and practice, who are willing to work together on an IPE project.
T3 Background and Example Projects
The T3 program was developed by interprofessional faculty from the University of Washington (Seattle, WA), the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA), and the University of Missouri (Columbia, MO). This program was established with support from a generous grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation and in collaboration with the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education.

- Create a National Graduate Certificate in Palliative Care
