Overview:

Moving outside the traditional domains of healthcare in IPE can lead to new ways of thinking and solving problems – and can be life-altering for students. The speakers provide examples of students from architecture and healthcare teaming up to design healthcare facilities and programs together in Rwanda and downtown Phoenix. They offer examples of combining teaching tools and strategies from multiple design disciplines including architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design with diverse healthcare professions to increase collaboration and creativity.

Objectives:

• Examine how working with non-traditional disciplines like architecture and design contributes to more robust and productive IPE experiences for healthcare students.
• Discuss examples of extraordinary solutions to complex health problems when healthcare, architecture and design students engage in IPE together.
