性爱视频 President Dr. John Scaringe Delivers Commencement Message on Compassion to the Class of 2025

At Southern California University of Health Sciences鈥 2025 Commencement Ceremony, University President Dr. John Scaringe delivered a heartfelt and deeply personal address centered on one essential principle: compassion.

Speaking to graduates poised to enter the healthcare professions, Dr. Scaringe reminded the Class of 2025 that while clinical knowledge and technical expertise are critical, it is compassion 鈥 expressed through presence, dignity, and action 鈥 that ultimately defines meaningful leadership and healing.

Through personal stories drawn from his own life, Dr. Scaringe illustrated that compassion is not simply an abstract value or 鈥渟oft skill,鈥 but a courageous, active choice to show up for others during their most vulnerable moments. His message resonated strongly with 性爱视频鈥檚 mission to educate healthcare leaders who care for the whole person 鈥 body, mind, and spirit.

Dr. Scaringe鈥檚 Commencement Speech

Today is truly a remarkable day for you, your families, your faculty, and let’s be honest, it’s also a remarkable day for anyone who no longer has to hear, 鈥淚 can’t, I have to study.鈥 You and your loved ones have waited a long time for this moment. Commencement ceremonies often invite big themes such as success, purpose, and, in our case, the future of healthcare.

But before we discuss any of that, I want to begin somewhere a little simpler, somewhere human. Somewhere, far from the clinics, the classroom, or accreditation reports. I want to start in a high school locker room. When I was a senior in high school, at the end of a senior tournament, I wrestled my final match, and I lost.

Now, if you’ve ever been 17, you are absolutely certain that the entire universe is paying attention to your every move. You know exactly what that felt like. So, I walked into the locker room, and I sat by myself. I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t hurt. I was simply disappointed. The kind that feels enormous right at that age, because most disappointments do.

A few minutes later. My father walked in. He didn’t tell me to shake it off. He didn’t give me a pep talk. He didn’t offer a replay of the footage of what I should have done, what I didn’t do, and what I could have done. He didn’t even give me that classic dad line of, 鈥淪omeday you’ll laugh at this,鈥 because he knew I wasn’t going to be laughing anytime soon.

He sat down next to me. Quiet, present, and even though the disappointment didn’t go away, something else happened. I didn’t feel alone anymore. Years later, I realized what he offered that day. It wasn’t advice, it wasn’t encouragement. It wasn’t even problem-solving. It was compassion. The quiet kind that doesn’t just fix the moment.

He doesn’t try to fix that moment, but he chooses to be in that moment with you, and that simple act has stayed with me throughout my life. Compassion is often confused with empathy. They’re related, but they’re not exactly the same.

For example, empathy is seeing someone on the side of the road on a rainy day fixing their flat tire, and you say to yourself. Oh, that poor son of a gun, that must be awful. Compassion is stopping, getting out, and helping them fix that flat tire. Compassion is movement. In other words, empathy feels, compassion moves.

Empathy understands the moment, and compassion enters it. And in healthcare, that is all the difference. Your patients won’t just need your knowledge. They won’t just need your technical expertise. They will need your presence, your willingness to step in the moment with them. That shift from feeling to doing is where healing begins in your career.

You will meet people on some of their hardest days鈥攑eople who feel vulnerable, afraid, confused, and overwhelmed. Two patients may walk in with the same diagnosis but carry entirely different stories. Compassion is what helps you treat the story as much as the symptoms. It shows up in small and often unnoticed ways when you take a moment longer to listen.

When you ask a question that nobody else has thought to ask, and when you acknowledge a fear, rather than rush past it. When you offer dignity in a time when someone feels exposed, not because the moment was any less painful, but when your presence says simply, you matter. Compassion doesn’t require perfection. It requires presence.

Presence is often the most healing thing you can offer. Whether or not you see yourself as a leader today, compassion will make you a leader. Leadership isn’t about authority. Leadership is the courage to act, to care, to advocate for someone who has no voice, to slow down when the world tells you to speed up, and to speak out when something isn’t right.

There will be days when you’re tired and rushed and stretched so thin that the easiest path is not the compassionate one. Those are the moments that define a career, not the easy decisions, the meaningful ones. Compassion is not a soft skill. It is a courage in everyday form.

A few months ago, I delivered my mother’s eulogy. It was one of the hardest moments in my life, but when I finished speaking, I did feel something unexpected: comfort, not because it was any less painful, because believe me, it wasn’t. But, because compassion had surrounded her during her final years from my brothers who were with her nearby in New York, from her caretakers, and from other loved ones. All from people who treated her with dignity.

Dignity when she needed it the most. In that moment, I understood clearly that compassion doesn’t erase pain, it doesn’t fix everything, but it does connect us when we need it the very most, and that connection can be transformational. So, as you step off the stage today into your professional lives, here is my hope for you.

Let your empathy become passion. Let your compassion become action. Let your presence be part of the healing you provide. Show up for people, not perfectly, but fully. Listen with patience, advocate with courage. Lead with your heart. Compassion isn’t something you add to healthcare. Compassion is healthcare, and when you lead with it, you will not only transform the lives of others. You will transform on your own as well.

I often think back to that moment in the locker room with my dad. He didn’t take away my disappointment. He didn’t change the outcome. He showed up. That’s compassion. Not fixing everything, not having the perfect words, just choosing to be there.

As you enter your profession, you will have countless opportunities to show up in moments, big and small, seen and unseen. Do it with courage, do it with humanity. Do it with passion.

Congratulations, graduates. Good luck and Godspeed.

Dr. John Scaringe, President of Southern California University of Health Sciences, delivered an inspiring and heartfelt address at the 2025 Commencement Ceremony, challenging the graduates to lead with compassion as they step into their professional careers.

Drawing from personal experiences, Dr. Scaringe emphasized that compassion goes beyond simply understanding another person鈥檚 struggle, reminding graduates that 鈥渆mpathy feels, but compassion moves.鈥 He encouraged students to view compassion as an active choice. One that requires presence, courage, and a willingness to show up for others during moments of vulnerability.

Throughout his remarks, Dr. Scaringe highlighted the critical role compassion plays in healthcare, noting that while knowledge and technical expertise are essential, they are not enough on their own.

鈥淐ompassion doesn鈥檛 require perfection. It requires presence,鈥 he said, underscoring the importance of truly being there for patients and treating not just symptoms, but the person behind the diagnosis. He also reframed compassion as a form of leadership, describing it as 鈥渃ourage in everyday form,鈥 especially during moments when taking the compassionate path may be the most challenging.

As he concluded, Dr. Scaringe left graduates with a powerful reminder that compassion is not an optional trait in healthcare, but a foundational one. 鈥淐ompassion isn鈥檛 something you add to healthcare 鈥 compassion is healthcare,鈥 he said, encouraging graduates to carry that mindset forward as they begin their careers and work to transform the lives of others through whole-person, human-centered care.

The ceremony also featured a reflective and inspiring commencement address from Dr. Russell Greenfield, a nationally recognized physician leader in Whole Health who has spent his career advancing human-centered models of care across healthcare systems nationwide. Dr. Greenfield has served in senior leadership roles with the Veterans Health Administration, the Whole Health Institute, and Novant Health鈥檚 Weisiger Cancer Institute, and continues to work directly with patients while helping communities build whole-person approaches to care.

In his remarks, Dr. Greenfield framed the healing professions as a sacred calling rooted in service, humility, and presence. He reminded graduates that true healing begins not with fixing problems, but with honoring lives, stating, 鈥淵ou see people not as problems to be fixed, but as lives to be honored.鈥 Drawing from personal experience and long-standing traditions within the healing arts, he encouraged graduates to approach their work with gratitude and compassion, even in the smallest moments of care.

As he concluded, Dr. Greenfield offered the Class of 2025 a message of reassurance and purpose, emphasizing that meaningful impact does not require grand gestures. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not your responsibility to heal the world鈥 and yet, odds are very good that you will,鈥 he said.

His words reinforced 性爱视频鈥檚 commitment to Whole Health and left graduates with a powerful reminder that through humility, service, and presence, they are uniquely prepared to help shape the future of healthcare.

Graduating Master of Science: Physician Assistant program student Jamie Gabriel was named the 性爱视频 Class of 2025 valedictorian. She delivered a powerful and personal address that reflected perseverance, balance, and service in healthcare.

A full-time captain with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and a nontraditional student, Gabriel shared how returning to school later in life was driven by a commitment to lifelong learning and setting an example for her family.

In her remarks, Gabriel emphasized the importance of whole-person care and the responsibility healthcare professionals have to see beyond diagnoses and data points. 鈥淥ur patients don鈥檛 come to us as symptoms or lab values. They come as people with stories, fears, hopes, and dreams,鈥 she said, underscoring the integrative approach that defines 性爱视频鈥檚 educational philosophy. She also highlighted the need for balance鈥攏ot only in patient care but also in clinicians鈥 own lives鈥攔eminding graduates that personal well-being is essential to providing meaningful, compassionate care.

Gabriel closed by challenging the Class of 2025 to lead with accountability and service. 鈥淟eadership in healthcare is not about authority. It is about the responsibility of service to others,鈥 she said, encouraging graduates to step confidently into the roles they are prepared to fill and help shape the future of healthcare through humility, balance, and purpose.

性爱视频鈥檚 听2025 Alumni of the Year Whole Health Achievement Award was presented to Dr. Valerie Johnson. Dr. Johnson embodies the spirit of this award through her pioneering leadership in integrative, whole-person healthcare. As one of the first chiropractors employed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, she has been instrumental in shaping the role of chiropractic in federal healthcare and advancing the VA Whole Health model.

Dr. Johnson鈥檚 commitment to inclusivity and diversity shines through the welcoming, collaborative environments she fosters for patients, colleagues, and learners. Through her compassion, advocacy, and clinical excellence, Dr. Johnson has redefined what integrative chiropractic can achieve.

The President鈥檚 Leadership Award was presented to Doctor of Chiropractic graduate George Zakhary for his leadership in contributing to the campus community, advocating for their chosen profession, and providing community service.

性爱视频鈥檚 Summer IPE Week Brings Together Over 200 Students from Eight Different Academic Programs

A record-breaking week of immersive, team-based learning prepares future healthcare professionals to lead in integrative, whole-person care.

Summer IPE Week

From July 28, 2025, to August 1, 2025, the 性爱视频 Center for Interprofessional Education hosted Summer IPE Week on campus. The week brought together more than 200 students for hands-on learning that strengthened teamwork, communication, and whole-person care across health disciplines.

Students from eight programs worked side by side:

  • Ayurveda
  • Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine
  • Chiropractic
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Physician Assistant Studies
  • Accelerated Sciences
  • Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences
  • Master of Science in Medical Science

Faculty designed activities that mirrored real clinical settings, so students could practice skills they will use with patients and teams.

鈥淚PE at 性爱视频 is where integrative, whole health comes to life,鈥 said Karina Madrigal, EdD, MA, Dean of Interprofessional Education. 鈥淥ur model is bold, inclusive, and transformative鈥攂ringing together students from both complementary and conventional medicine.鈥 She noted that interprofessional education is an institutionalized system embedded across more than 15 academic programs. Students learn with, from, and about one another, and they graduate ready to practice in team-based care settings. 性爱视频鈥檚 model blends Eastern and Western care traditions to match how modern health systems operate and to prepare graduates to lead in integrative care.

Students rotated through team scenarios that required clear roles, shared decision-making, and direct communication with patients and caregivers. Sessions focused on three high-impact skills:

  • Identifying system failures and contributing to a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement
  • Handing off patients in a structured way to support safe care transitions
  • Speaking with patients, families, and the care team in plain language to align on goals

These scenarios matched the pace and pressure of real practice, so teams could learn, adjust, and improve in the moment. Among the highlights was 性爱视频鈥檚 signature care coordination simulation, which brought multiple disciplines together to co-manage complex cases in real time.

Pre- and post-assessments showed gains across IPEC core competencies: Values and Ethics, Roles and Responsibilities, Interprofessional Communication, and Teams/Teamwork. The results also aligned with 性爱视频鈥檚 鈥淟earning in Action鈥 measure, which tracks applied skills. 鈥淭he data confirm that our model not only changes what students know鈥攊t changes how they think and work,鈥 said Madrigal.

Skills from IPE Week translate directly to clinics and community sites. Students practiced structured handovers that reduce errors. They clarified the scope and responsibility so teams can respond faster. They used shared care plans that keep the patient and family at the center. As a result, students left not only with greater confidence, but with a strengthened ability to work across disciplines 鈥 ready to lead and collaborate as part of interprofessional teams united by a shared goal: advancing integrative, whole-person health and improving outcomes for the patients and communities they serve.

Collaboration starts early at 性爱视频. Students experience interprofessional learning from their first year, so teamwork becomes second nature. By the time they enter clinical placements, they already know how to listen across disciplines and keep care plans aligned with patient goals.

This year鈥檚 Summer IPE Week set a new bar for participation and impact. It showed how 性爱视频鈥檚 interprofessional model helps students grow as clinicians and as teammates. It also showed how a campus community can come together around a shared aim: to deliver whole-person care for every patient in every setting.

Interprofessional Education Model Builds Bridges

Southern California University (性爱视频)’s groundbreaking Interprofessional Education (IPE) model combines curriculum, clinic, community, and clubs to help students develop a broader base of knowledge and gain a deeper appreciation for different perspectives on care. To celebrate this innovative model and honor the ways we share knowledge, build skills, and improve patient outcomes by bridging academic and clinical communities, 性爱视频 launched the IPE and Collaborative Practice Week in June 2022.

Now, having completed its second year, the IPE and Collaborative Practice Week is well on its way to cementing itself as an annual, university-wide tradition.

“Student feedback was very positive,鈥 Dr. Preetideep Singh, Assistant Dean and Associate Professor for the Interprofessional Education Department, said. “Through the IPE events they had the opportunity to learn from, with, and about each other.鈥

IPE AT 性爱视频

IPE fills the void that often exists in healthcare education delivery systems. To fully meet the complex healthcare needs of patients, a broad range of different perspectives, expertise, and education is required.

Interprofessional care ranges from clinical to community providers, family caregivers to case managers, primary care physicians to physician assistants, specialists such as chiropractors and acupuncturists, and social workers, pharmacists, psychologists, and long-term care providers.

IPE at 性爱视频 is a University-wide model that includes curriculum, clinicals, community, and clubs, providing a seamless transition from student to practitioner. In the IPE model, students from two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve patient and population outcomes.

性爱视频 also provides a unique combination of medical and complementary health models, preparing students to become transformational leaders in healthcare.

GROWING VISIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

As 性爱视频’s 2nd year hosting the IPE and Collaborative Practice Week, IPE efforts across the university have continued to grow, increasing both visibility and student participation. “We did a modalities event this year where faculty and students from all clinical programs showcased some of their modalities of treatment. It was a great opportunity for students to engage with each other and learn about different disciplines,鈥 Dr. Singh said.

Students show off their submission to the body painting competition.

Students show off their submission to the body painting competition.

This year’s event also included a virtual collaborative case competition, where students from different professions and programs collaborated to solve clinical cases together. This tested their basic science knowledge, clinical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and teamwork abilities.

“The virtual collaborative case competition was a true IPE experience from creation to implementation involving faculty and students from various programs,鈥 Dr. Singh said.

Another featured event was the anatomy body painting and Play-Doh competition, where students were required to paint or construct anatomical structures in detail involving a specific region. This experiential learning served as a tool for learning surface anatomy and associated clinical skills in a team-based environment.

IPE AND INTEGRATIVE, WHOLE-PERSON HEALTH

The IPE model also supports 性爱视频’s core value of integrative, whole-person health, in which we teach, learn, collaborate, and lead by creating an open environment for multiple disciplines and professionals to bring their shared and unique skills together for the benefit of patients and students.

Dr. Singh elaborates, “The IPE model equips healthcare professional students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for collaborative, patient-centered, and evidence-based care that addresses the full spectrum of whole health involving conventional and complementary practices.鈥

“All the events were tied to achievement of certain interprofessional education competencies.鈥 – Dr. Preetideep Singh, Assistant Dean and Associate Professor for the Interprofessional Education Department

Amid Hispanic Heritage Month, 性爱视频 honors the importance of diversity in transforming and redefining health and healthcare education /front-page-news/hispanic-heritage-month-2022/ Mon, 03 Oct 2022 22:27:11 +0000 /?p=24689 Since 1968, National Hispanic Heritage Month has been recognized by the federal government and celebrated across the United States annually, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 to acknowledge the history, culture, and contributions of Americans whose ancestry can be traced to over 20 countries in Latin America, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the [...]

Since 1968, has been recognized by the federal government and celebrated across the United States annually, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 to acknowledge the history, culture, and contributions of Americans whose ancestry can be traced to over 20 countries in Latin America, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. There are approximately 60 million people residing in the U.S. representing approximately 18% of the population, who have ancestries connected to these countries.

Southern California University of Health Sciences (性爱视频) and join in celebrating this annual commemoration as part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion and our ongoing efforts to increase the representation of Hispanics, and others from populations underrepresented in medicine, who serve our community as healthcare providers.

Reflecting diversity in healthcare providers is important since we live in a globalized community with multiple points of view, ethnic backgrounds, and races. Is important that the healthcare providers reflect understanding of cultural diversity to have stronger communication and empathy with their patients and coworkers. We should move into a space that we are able to talk to each other with empathy and understanding of the things that makes us different by focusing on the things that makes us the same,鈥 says Xavier Ramirez, DC, 性爱视频 Health chiropractor.

Diversity enhances the learning experience through broadened perspectives, intellectual engagement, social skills, empathy, and racial understanding – all critical components of healthcare education for future healthcare providers.

“Studies have consistently shown that diversity impacts quality of learning for all students, driving innovation, critical thinking, and preparing youth to become future leaders with capacity to tackle the complex problems our society and interconnected world faces,鈥 says David Emiliano Zapata Maldonado, LACC Academic Support Coordinator. “It also improves economic and career opportunities for marginalized communities that are critically needed in an increasingly inequitable world. In my 33 years of higher education experience, I have not just seen the power of diversity work for the betterment of the institutions I have studied and worked at, but I have seen over and over again, the impact of engaged students from diverse learning environments, who go on to do great things with their degrees, in the communities they serve.鈥

“Diversity in healthcare education is important for us as health science students because it contributes to a space where all students feel they have intrinsic worth, not despite their differences but because of their differences,鈥 says 性爱视频 LACC DC Student Angelica Robles. “As students, we must actively work to create meaningful change regardless of the history of injustice that has stigmatized underrepresented groups within our community.鈥

Karina MillerFor 性爱视频 LACC DC student, Karina Miller, the diversity she’s experienced in her health sciences education is rewarding, “seeing that there are so many other students who look or share the same culture of being proud Latino/a’s has advanced my drive into creating a better world for everyone in the community. And it has also helped me realize how much progress still needs to be made for the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) populations, and how all of our integrative healthcare professions work together to make a difference in the community. Seeing that even the faculty want to help us reach our goal of helping everyone strengthens the motivation to keep going in the program, and even try harder.鈥

Diversity helps equip future providers to combat health care disparities, which will positively impact health care outcomes for their patients.

“Diversity in health care benefits students and their future patients,鈥 says Erica A. Gomez, DMSc, MPAP, PA-C, Assistant Professor, Master of Science: Physician Assistant Program. Exposure to diversity early in their careers helps students develop a better understanding of cultural values and traditions, which may affect the manner in which the patient responds to suggested treatment plans. Diversity enhances the learning experience of students because all healthcare providers in California and the majority of the United States, will encounter individuals from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds during their careers.鈥

PA Gomez is the first of her immediate and extended family to attend college and the only one in the extended family to attend graduate school. “I fondly remember the day I shared my interest in healthcare with my mother at the young age of 5 or 6 years. She encouraged my dreams, telling me to “go all the way to the top. Be a Doctor, never settle for the minimum goals.” When the time came to choose my career path, Physician Assistant became the best choice for me, and I have never regretted my choice. I am excited to see a growing number of Latinx students on campus, every year. The first year I taught here there were only one or two Latinx students in the class. Most recently there is a greater percentage of the class that better reflects the diversity of Southern California.鈥

For Karina Miller, being “born and raised in Pomona, California, there were hardly any healthcare providers that influenced my journey to become a chiropractor. Seeing the lack of Hispanic health care worker made me want to be the first in my family and community. Seeing that 5.8% of chiropractors are Hispanic was the inspiration that made me want to pursue chiropractic aid to all types of communities.鈥

“Equity and social justice are critical to our healthcare system and the well-being of our society, says Maldonado. “This has to be operationalized through initiatives which maximize the benefits of diversity in higher education. With an increasingly diverse healthcare industry and workforce, we are able to provide bi/multilingual and culturally sensitive healthcare that is necessary for effective and relevant healthcare.鈥

性爱视频 is making great strides in training a broader spectrum of future physicians, capable of relating to patients and speaking their language, both literally and figuratively.

“Bilingual and culturally sensitive healthcare services can very easily be medically necessary as it is critical, even life/death, for patients to be able to communicate clearly with their healthcare providers,鈥 says Maldonado. Maldonado has mentored countless diverse undergraduate students throughout his 33-year career in higher education. “Every step of the way I’ve worked with BIPOC students, colleagues and mentors. One of my earliest mentors is UCLA Professor David Hayes-Bautista. His seminal book (as a co-author) “鈥 remains a compelling argument for understanding the role the Latinx community will play in the well-being of all California for generations to come.鈥

For PA Gomez, “being fluent in Spanish and semi-fluent in Portuguese is an invaluable skill to have in Southern California to be able to fully communicate and understand my patients without the need for a translator. I see the gratitude in my patient’s faces when I speak to them in their native language and see how the patient immediately relaxes and participates more in their own care.鈥

For Angelica Robles, she says that “growing up, I was always taught to be proud of my Mexican roots and be of service to others. I believe I was drawn to pursuing a career as a healthcare provider. I love bringing smiles and a sense of relief to patients’ faces when they hear me speaking in their native tongue. It’s an unbreakable bond of trust that is created to ensure that they are in the best care. With the high percentage of Hispanics living in LA county, I feel that it is my duty to represent and care for my people and the entire community. I want to become access and a leader by example in improving care for vulnerable populations and encourage family physicians of all races and ethnicities to also care for patients in these groups.鈥

性爱视频 has several ways for students to enhance their academic, professional, and social development through involvement in one or more of the 20+ established on campus to gain experience, create meaningful relationships, network, and grow skills and knowledge. Angelica Robles says that “there are many clubs such as Spanish Medical Terminology (currently inactive), the World Congress of Chiropractic Students club, and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, to name a few, which are great ways to get involved and gain a lot of exposure filled with the opportunity to meet people of various backgrounds and ensure that we all have support to perform to the fullest of our abilities. We should all feel a sense of belonging in any environment and getting involved on campus is a great foot in the door.鈥

“I have realized that all of my career aspirations have something in common, which is to serve my community,鈥 says Angelica Robles. 性爱视频 and 性爱视频 Health are also dedicated to service to the community. Just after Hispanic Heritage Month, the next 听will be held Saturday, Oct. 22, from 1-4 p.m., on campus. 性爱视频 Health hosts free Tent Event outreach clinic in a continuing effort to serve the community with integrative healthcare services, increase the awareness of integrative healthcare benefits, and provide students with patient treatment and clinical experience. The clinics are free of charge, and all students and the public are invited. Spread the word, and invite a friend!

From all of us at 性爱视频, happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Locally, from food to cultural events鈥, all incredible ways to honor Latinx/o/a’s and our fellow Angelenos amid Hispanic Heritage Month, and beyond!

Ask the Professor: What is interprofessional education, and what is IPE and Collaborative Practice Week?

To fully meet the complex healthcare needs of patients, a broad range of different perspectives, expertise and education is required. Interprofessional care ranges from clinical and community providers, from family caregivers to case managers, primary care physicians to physician assistants, advance practice nurses, to specialists such as chiropractors and acupuncturists, to social workers, pharmacists, psychologists, and long-term care providers.

“At 性爱视频, we like to look at healthcare education a little differently where we challenge convention, embrace collaboration and unite modern medicine with ancient and traditional healing arts to create an environment of experiential learning,鈥 says Preetideep Singh, M.D., Associate Professor and Assistant Dean for the Interprofessional Education Department at 性爱视频. “With improved interprofessional training, patient outcomes will improve.鈥

性爱视频 will be celebrating its groundbreaking Interprofessional Education (IPE) model with its first annual IPE and Collaborative Practice Week, June 13 17, to honor the ways we share knowledge, build skills, and improve patient outcomes by bridging academic and clinical communities.

We sat down with Dr. Singh for a Q&A to learn more about IPE and the week-long events that are hosted by the IPE Department, IPE Council, Faculty, and Student Services.


What is IPE and how does it set 性爱视频 apart from other health sciences universities?

Healthcare is continuously changing and adapting, today, more than ever. Our current and future healthcare professionals need to be prepared to adapt to continuous change, as well as be prepared in interprofessional experiences for the transforming healthcare environment.

Interprofessional Education fills the void which often exists in healthcare education delivery systems. IPE occurs when students from two or more professions to learn with, from and about each other to improve patient and population outcomes. 性爱视频’s IPE model is a unique combination of medical and complementary health models, where western medicine meets traditional medicine. It challenges convention and strives students to Go Beyond and become holistic integrative healthcare professionals.

How long has 性爱视频 been delivering this interprofessional education model?

In the Fall Term of 2020 we launched our unique IPE model based upon industry standard guidelines to improve education for our students and future health professionals to better align with the needs of today’s healthcare system. State and national health reforms require health professionals to collaborate in teams, across different specialties and between different healthcare organizations.

Since the launch of IPE model in 2020, our 性爱视频 students are enhancing the skills needed for success in interprofessional collaborative practice. At 性爱视频, we challenge our students throughout their academic careers to understand and value the importance of teamwork, communication, and collaborative care as they grow into their roles as health professionals.

Why is an entire week being dedicated to IPE? Will this be an annual event?

IPE and Collaborative Practice Week is a key part of the co-curricular component of the IPE model. Events during this first annual event will provide students opportunities to work with each other in a collaborative environment and focus on integrative whole person health. Activities are aimed at bringing didactic and clinical components together and focus on building dual identity, team building and conflict resolution. There is emphasis on wellness activities in a fun filled environment.

Which event, or what are you looking forward to the most, during IPE Week?

All events during the IPE week are planned with holistic whole person health and collaborative practice in mind. I’m looking forward to seeing students work together in a fun-filled environment.

The schedule of exciting events includes several competitions with cash prizes from $200, up to $1,000 for the Case Competition, Poster Presentation, Anatomy Body Painting and Play Doh Anatomical Sculpting Competitions! Please .
