Interprofessional Activities to Serve the AMC Campus
The CU Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CU CIPE) aims to foster interprofessional collaboration at CU Anschutz and graduate team-ready practitioners with the skills needed to collaborate as a member of an interprofessional team. In this effort, the CU CIPE offers faculty, staff, and students from all academic units, institutes, and programs to engage in the Interprofessional Open Campus Program (IOCP).
Purpose:
To connect students, faculty, and staff members from across the CU Anschutz campus, regardless of professional background, in programming meaningful for the individual and the campus community. The IOCP consists of a menu of program offerings that resonate with the campus community. The College of Nursing, the Schools of Dental Medicine, Medicine, and Pharmacy, Physician Assistant, and Physical Therapy Programs all encourage their first-year students to participate in the IOCP each fall. Additionally, IOCP offerings aim to be inclusive of all members of the Anschutz Medical Campus community whenever possible.
Objective
Each year, the Interprofessional One Book One Campus and Open Campus Program identiļ¬es a primary theme by which to engage different partners within the Anschutz community. Building upon the success of last year, we are committed to keeping the overall OBOC, and IPE Open Campus introductory theme aligned with One Health.
Why This Theme
This year's selection is a student-generated proposal which is supported by CU CIPE, and IPE Student Representatives across the Anschutz health profession programs. The OBOC selection is "Everything is Tuberculosis" by John Green and is an excellent and powerful book, that clearly aligns with One Health issues.
