If March taught the IU IPE crew anything, it’s that being busy doesn’t always mean making an exciting video. But please, don’t be fooled by the lack of visuals; IU IPE has been busy readying itself for a productive month. April is the official Interprofessional Healthcare month, and this video is a behind-the-scenes look at how IU IPE will spend it. One cannot be effective in efforts to transform healthcare and build a culture of collaboration without taking the time to be deliberate about their next move. With that in mind, let’s think of March as a deliberate month.
1. On March 25th, the IU IPE team packed up and headed to Bloomington’s new(ish) Health Sciences Building. Students from Audiology, Nutrition and Dietetics, and athletic training participated in a simulated situation where they worked with standardized patients to create wellness plans.

IU IPE Assistant Dean for Education, Dr. Zach
Weber, leads a regular meeting of the IU IPE Curriculum Committee. This group comprises
representatives from each of IU IPE’s stakeholder schools. These meetings are a
regular chance to review suggestions for new curriculum and brainstorm new
avenues for IU IPE to explore. They can also play an essential part in reviewing
faculty applications for the IU IPE Seed Grant Program.
