Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education (CoEPCE)- Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center is "Transforming Out-Patient Care" (TOPC) by creating and enabling physicians, nurse practitioners and associated health learners to lead and participate in patient-centered interprofessional teams. The mission recognizes the importance of a comprehensive care model and the need for care transitions across venues (e.g. coordination of acute care to out-patient environment). The site has developed a competency based curriculum to support this model guided by CoEPCE/enterprise core domains.
Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education (CoEPCE)- VA Puget Sound Healthcare System

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.
Program Highlights
Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education (CoEPCE)- San Francisco VA Medical Center
The San Francisco Center and Education for Patient Aligned Care Teams (EDPACT) is working to develop and implement a model of patient-centered, interprofessional education. The goal is to bring together teams of trainees, physicians, advanced practice and other nurses and associated health care providers to build shared knowledge and incorporate design principles for optimal workplace learning.
Taking the lead: Community pharmacists' perception of their role potential within the primary care team
BACKGROUND: Patient-focused care provided by an interprofessional team has long been presented as the preferred method of primary care delivery. Community pharmacists should and can provide leadership for many clinical and managerial activities within the primary care team.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which community pharmacists are prepared to be members of the health care team, and to assess their support for general expansion of clinical responsibilities.
Nursing student perceptions of intraprofessional team education using high-fidelity simulation
High-fidelity simulation in health professional programs helps educators and students meet the challenges of increasingly complex clinical practice settings. Simulation has been used primarily to train nursing students either in interprofessional teams or within their respective nursing training levels. However, students' experiences of learning alongside others in different levels or years of the nursing program have not been explored.
