The Interprofessional Team Education and Evaluation project at the University of Rhode Island is a funded projects from the RI Executive Office of Health and Human Services as part of its Health System Transformation Project.  

Project Priorities 

We have identified four priority areas for action: 

1. advancing visibility of and advocating for IPE and IPP 
2. dedicated time, personnel, and resources for IPE/IPP
3. within-institution collaboration
4. collaboration across institutions 

We plan to achieve these priorities through engaging through populations of interest: 1.) health professions students, 2.) health professions faculty, and 3.) staff/preceptors from community partners 

Mission and Vision

The mission of University of Rhode Island’s Interprofessional Education and Practice Initiative is to develop a culture of interprofessional excellence among faculty, students, and community health providers through effective education and practice that help prepare health professionals to meet the “Triple Aim” – reduced costs, improved patient outcomes, and improved population health.

Our vision is innovative educational programs that enable collaboration-ready graduates of the University to lead and practice in interprofessional teams to transform health care delivery in the future.
