Job Summary

Center for Interprofessional Education Overview

The Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CIPE) is a collaborative effort of the 10 health science schools on the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn campuses, with support from the Provost’s office on the Ann Arbor campus. We are working to transform health professions education from a traditionally siloed approach to one in which students are engaged across professions, learning about, from, and with one another. Our singular goal is to innovate and implement interprofessional practice and education to improve the quintuple aims of health.
