IPE Day enhanced students knowledge of using a team-based approach to health care, law, and social work as they assisted actors playing the role of patients addicted to prescription opioids.
The 220 students came from UMB as well as the University of Maryland, College Park, which was represented by participants who study audiology or speech language pathology. The day began with a welcome from UMB Interim President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, and UMB Center for Interprofessional Education (CIPE) director Jane M. Kirschling, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON).
