Interprofessional Education

The Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy Interprofessional Education (IPE) program develops pharmacists to work in today’s interdisciplinary healthcare teams.

The School of Pharmacy has partnered with other healthcare schools’ in the area including Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine to offer students multiple opportunities to work together with medical students to learn the important skill of working as a team to accomplish a goal. Students from both programs work together over 2 semesters to ultimately learn teamwork, communication and each other’s roles and responsibilities to successfully treat a patient. Students also have multiple volunteer opportunities to work together to care for patients both locally and internationally throughout their four years at the School of Pharmacy.
