Interprofessional education and practice (IPEP) occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. A collaborative practice-ready workforce is a specific way of describing health workers who have received effective training in interprofessional education.
The UNC Adams School of Dentistry’s IPEP efforts are led by the Director of Interprofessional Education and Practice, Jennie Brame, EdS, MS, RDH.
