- Interprofessional Education curriculum based on the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC, 2010) core competency framework
- Faculty Development initiatives that promote IPE skills and scholarship
- Leadership and scholarship in innovative IPE pedagogy
Students may access the courses in the OT curriculum and PT curriculum.
