It will additionally illuminate student perceptions of the usefulness of IPE to health care education (HCE). The culmination of the knowledge gained in this study will help to guide faculty decision-making about IPE curricula and programs.”

Dean Lorraine Frazier, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., Dean of the UTHealth School of Nursing, was in attendance at the event. Dean Frazier began the initial dialog between the Surgical Clinical Skills Center and UTHealth School of Nursing to develop the pilot simulation exercise. As the former project director of TexGenResearch, which supported multi-center, multi-institutional biobank development of clinical data and biological samplings, Dean Frazier has long been a champion of interprofessional collaboration.
