The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) will hold its next Institute virtually on May 21, 22, and 23, 2024.

The May 2024 IPEC Institute is returning to the popular theme of building interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP). Participants will engage with national leaders in acquiring the building blocks for IPECP. Institute attendees will spend significant time planning, building, designing, assessing and acting on their IPECP goals and projects, as well as communicating effectively about IPECP.

The Institute program is designed to include both interprofessional teams and individual participants.

Please complete the Conference Request Form and submit it to Heather Congdon no later than March 31, 2024.

Past Themes

• Spring 2022 - Inclusion, Diversity, Health Equity, and Advocacy
• Spring 2019, 2018 and 2017 - Building a Framework for Collaboration
• Fall 2018 and 2017 - Advancing and Sustaining Your Program for Collaborative Practice

Twice a year, the Center for Interprofessional Education will put out a call for proposal. The call will ask interested faculty to prepare a brief (no more than one page) proposal indicating their interest in participating in this faculty development opportunity.

The proposal should include a brief description of the proposed IPE project that the team will design and implement as a result of participating in the institute. The team selected to represent UMB will be asked to submit a proposal for seed grant funding from the center in the coming years.

Send the completed application to Heather Congdon (hcongdon@rx.umaryland.edu) with "IPEC Application" in the subject line.

The team members identified in the proposal must represent at least three health profession disciplines. One member of the team can be from another University System of Maryland University if they are representing a discipline other than those offered at UMB. The team should range in size from three to five members. All team members must agree to attend the IPEC Institute.

All costs associated with attendance will be covered by the UMB Center for Interprofessional Education, and typically one team for the spring and one team for the fall institute will be selected to participate from UMB.

The overall goal of the IPEC effort is to create faculty champions who can enhance interprofessional curricula, learning experiences, and assessment of learners. Faculty across the health disciplines will join together to explore how to embed such content into their curriculum. Upon returning to their home institutions, it is expected that workshop participants will help to develop faculty teams with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement an interprofessional education project.
