IPE Fall 2021

Interprofessional Education

Virtual Meeting/Simulated Case: October 4, 2021

Dear Healthcare Professional Students of University of Pikeville (Medical, Optometry, Nursing, Social Work) and Appalachian College of Pharmacy,

Due to restrictions that are still in place concerning large gatherings, we regret that we are not able to hold our Interprofessional Education Conference face to face. We enjoy getting to see your faces and know you enjoy working with each other. We hope that you will enjoy meeting with your IPE teams virtually, and that this unique, simulated experience will be worthwhile and educational for you.

Welcome to your Fall IPE Event! Let’s take a minute to remember what IPE is. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), interprofessional education (IPE) is an experience that “occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other” (WHO, 2010).

In this IPE event you will do just that, working with team members from the following professions:

  • Medical-University of Pikeville (KYCOM)

  • Optometry-University of Pikeville(KYCO)

  • Nursing-University of Pikeville

  • Social Work-University of Pikeville

  • Pharmacy-Appalachian College of Pharmacy


Hopefully you will see some familiar faces in your group. Rekindle old friendships and create new ones.
