Meet the CUNY IPER-C3 Team

The CUNY Interprofessional Education Initiative works with IPE Fellows and leadership across campuses to develop a university-wide model titled: Interprofessional Practice, Education & Research aCross the Curriculum at CUNY (IPER-C3), based on the successful Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) model, to build a sustainable system-wide faculty development and integration model for IPE across the curriculum for CUNY health-related programs and community partners.

IPER-C3 supports faculty in teaching interprofessional education in their disciplines by providing training, certification, mentoring and ongoing professional development to successfully integrate IPE into their courses and experiential learning activities that prepare students to practice patient/client-centered care in a collaborative team environment.
