This project provides health professions students an opportunity to develop interprofessional competencies in a “real world” clinical practice setting. 

A student team of medical, physician assistant and pharmacy students are working with health care providers at Cherry Street Health Center, a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), to provide collaborative care during clinical appointments and through daily huddles, case conferences, patient call backs and patient education classes about diabetes. 

In an effort to enhance primary care delivery, this intervention develops an interprofessional practice and education (IPE) curriculum for preceptors who are jointly affiliated with both health care education and clinical practice.

This collaborative intervention evaluates how team training for student learners and clinicians improves quality and safety outcomes in the clinical setting. 

The focus of this intervention study is to improve, expand and standardize provider and student knowledge and use of an electronic health record (EHR) on both the individual and system level. 

The Interprofessional Care Access Network (I-CAN) creates synergy between academic programs, community services and health care delivery by facilitating interprofessional experiences for students, faculty and practitioners through Neighborhood Collaboratives for Academic-Practice Partnerships (NCAPPs). 

This educational intervention is intended to drive clinical change. The curriculum focuses on patient safety, creating a "just culture," patient experience and continuous quality improvement (QI). Interprofessional student teams, together with the interprofessional faculty QI teams, identify gaps in the transitions of care between care units. 

The UK Colleges of Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health are collaborating on an interprofessional simulation Intervention to improve care for stroke patients. The simulation phase will demonstrate the importance of interprofessional collaborative practice and guide providers and students on how to become effective team members. 

CUHCC, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), serves a linguistically diverse patient population with a majority of families living below the federal poverty level. This intervention observes the impact of TeamSTEPPS training and equity and diversity training for its staff on outcomes associated with diabetes and other chronic diseases, immunizations, well-child check-ups, weight screening, preventive dental visits, mental health functioning, patient satisfaction and cost of care.

Assessing and Enhancing Clinical Education Sites for IPE, or ACE intervention, is focused on placing learners in clinical education sites where teams with high levels of "teamness" model interprofessional collaborative practice. This intervention enhances the interface between education and clinical practice - also known as the Nexus - by focusing on educating learners in clinical settings where optimal teamwork skills are modeled.
