Students for Interprofessional Education (SIPE) is an organization led by students from each of the majors in the Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences who are passionate about improving the future of patient care through interprofessional collaboration.
The main purpose of SIPE is to educate students across campus about the importance of interprofessional education (IPE). SIPE not only raises awareness about the IPE opportunities open to UML students on and off campus, but works closely with faculty, staff and local organizations interested in improving healthcare.
Each year, members of SIPE are an integral part of interprofessional case competitions, patient simulations and experiential-learning opportunities. Through joining SIPE, students are able to:
- gain a greater understanding of the different roles on a healthcare team
- practice their communication skills on a healthcare team
- network with others in the healthcare field
- become an active leader of IPE on campus
- be considered for IPE-related scholarships
