Center for Transformative Interprofessional Healthcare

Message from the Director

Thank you for visiting the Center for Transformative Interprofessional Healthcare (CTIPH) website.

I am deeply grateful to the University of Arizona Health Sciences event chairs, college directors and liaisons, facilitators, co-hosts, interns, and our many community partners for their collaboration and ongoing support. I especially want to acknowledge the dedicated volunteers who lead UArizona interprofessional education and practice (IPEP) events—promoting collaborative care, modeling best practices, and fostering meaningful learning experiences.

At CTIPH, we are committed to advancing high-quality interprofessional education, student-centered activities, and team-based healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical need for interprofessional collaboration across healthcare and public health sectors. Our work continues to focus on preparing students for their future roles on collaborative care teams.

Our IPE activities engage thousands of health sciences students each year. I am proud to partner with ASTEC, iCAPS and Health Science Design to expand activities.

I look forward to connecting with you!
