Resource Center

The Seattle CoEPCE is working to advance education of interdisciplinary teams and develop clinical leaders who deliver patient-centered care, transform delivery of healthcare services, and improve health outcomes. A central focus of the Seattle CoEPCE is to develop skills needed for collaborative primary care practice during training.

Formal training, workplace learning and reflection drive the Boise Center of Excellence’s team-based primary care curricula. This interprofessional curriculum supports several disciplines, particularly nurse practitioner, internal medicine and pharmacy residents, and psychology interns and post-doctoral fellows. To deepen trainees’ understanding of interdependent roles and optimize preparation for practice in a transforming healthcare system, the Center also fosters multidisciplinary, continuous quality improvement (CQI) projects.

A global panel of representatives from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australasia, Japan, Eastern and African countries, and the World Health Organization will engage in a moderated dialogue covering top issues related to interprofessional education and practice from their respective regions.
