IPE Learners

This page is here to help you get started with Interprofessional Education (IPE) at Memorial University, through the Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education (CCHPE).

Learner Involvement in IPE

Learner participation in CCHPE programs varies across academic faculties and schools. Learners should consult with their course instructors or administrators or contact CCHPE directly to confirm how IPE is assessed and graded in their specific program.

If you're enrolled in an IPE activity, all the up-to-date learning materials you need will be posted on Brightspace. Each IPE activity will have its own Brightspace page, and all Memorial learners will be able to access Brightspace online.

 ***Important: There are required tasks for every IPE activity that are only available on Brightspace. Please log in to explore for more specific details, the content and complete your assigned tasks.

IPE Programs Offered at Memorial

IPE Skills Training Series

The IPE Skills Training Series is a two-year program covering four core IPE topics. Key features include:

  • Learners work in small interprofessional teams for the duration of the Series.
  • Teams are ideally guided by the same faculty or clinical facilitator throughout.
  • Focus is on collaborative skill development, such as communication and conflict management and less on clinical problem-solving (diagnoses and care planning).
  • Learners are expected to take on a leadership role as a peer facilitator throughout the skills training series.

A detailed breakdown of the schedule, learning content and assessment structures for learners can be found here.

Case-Based IPE Learning Modules

The Case-Based IPE Learning Modules differ from the Skills Training Series in that:

  • The three Case-Based IPE Learning Modules are independent of Skills Training Series. 
  •  Modules are completed in new small interprofessional teams.  Which modules you complete depends on your program of study.
  • The modules focus much more closely on collaborative clinical practice in specific areas of care like HIV care and mental health.

You can find out more about the Modules by visiting Case-Based IPE Learning Modules.
