Preparing the next great health care team.

The Office of Interdisciplinary Education develops and implements strategies for teams of specialists to drive improvements in health  care by supporting opportunities at the student level to learn in blended teams. Through programming, research, experiential learning, and community engagement between the health science schools and many other partners across the university, the Office of Interdisciplinary Education works to promote a team-based care model early in a student’s journey, preparing them to work in the ways that health professionals work together across fields.  

Our faculty come from all areas of the University. We are committed to: 

• Team-based health care and education that encourages a level playing field for care delivery where everyone is supported and valued

• Innovating, sharing and evaluating our efforts continually 
• Building new models of care that improve health 
• Inspiring and developing leaders who value cooperative interdependence and interdisciplinary health care
