SHRS Center for Interprofessional Studies Competency List
The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies serve as a unifying and guiding interprofessional framework throughout the health professions and are embedded into both curriculum and accreditation standards. Through a multi-step process, SHRS stakeholders identified guiding principles unique to our culture, practice, and research.

The SHRS CIP vision includes an objective to identify curricular and extracurricular opportunities so that each SHRS student can be exposed to the IPEC Core Competencies and SHRS Guiding Principles prior to graduation.
