Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Inter-Institutional Collaborative Learning
Since its inception in 1999, the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance has sought to create innovative avenues for interprofessional and educational collaboration that not only allow students and faculty to share and apply their knowledge, but also leave a lasting impact on the community. Our developing programs leverage the strengths of the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance and its existing IPE faculty collaborative.
This inter-institutional, interprofessional design aims to:
support opportunities for shared IPE curriculum
utilize community engaged, service learning platforms to create mutual educational and community benefit
build capacity and expose students and educators to interprofessional competencies
Collaborative Programs
The IPE Student Project
The inter-institutional, interprofessional education (IPE) student project, hosted by the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, provides an opportunity for students from various health professions programs in the Nashville area to collaborate with community partners in a real-world setting. Guided by our partnering community organizations, a team of professionally diverse students will create and implement plans of action to address real community-defined needs.
Presentations by the 2021-22 IPE Student Project cohort, with remarks by Drs. Christian Ketel and Regina Offodile
