Interprofessional Education Graduate Certificate
Interprofessional Education (IPE) is crucial for students pursuing careers in health and social care, as well as healthcare administration. At Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW), the goal of IPE is to equip students with the competencies and skills necessary to thrive in collaborative, team-based environments that prioritize diversity and person-centered care. The IPE Graduate Certificate program reinforces the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies for graduate students enrolled in health and social care professions at CUW.
