ELEC 5000 - Health Partners-Interprofessional Program

IPHP is designed to allow students to practice interviewing skills, learn about geriatric health issues and assessment resources, and establish a professional relationship with an elder for the purposes of developing knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes necessary for delivering high quality care to older adult patients. In response to national concerns related to improving health care and reducing medical errors, the program also incorporates information and activities that introduce students to interprofessional teamwork and patient safety strategies.
