HIV Interprofessional Education Program

Overview

The HIV Interprofessional Education Program (HIPEP) is a regional HIV Interprofessional Education (IPE) collaborative that includes four University-based IPE academic programs. MATEC develops, implements, and evaluates interprofessional team-based training programs for health professions students to prepare a workforce that is ready and able to optimize care and outcomes for persons with HIV/AIDS. The University of Illinois Chicago - Collaborative for Excellence in Interprofessional Education (UIC-CEIPE) and MATEC’s Central Office lead this project. Other participating institutions include University of Minnesota Center for Interprofessional Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, and Wayne State University Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Services.

Activities

HIPEP develops training programs applicable for medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, behavioral health, social work, public health, and allied health at UIC and other regional IPE partner institutions.
