Our mission:

Inspire innovation and inclusivity

Note: "IPE" is an acronym used to describe InterProfessional Education - which is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy to prepare health scientists and health workers to work collaboratively across disciplines.  For example, in a hospital setting a variety of practitioners and professionals need to work together to improve and promote health considering the whole person and all aspects of how a diagnosis may impact someone's health and life.

Compassion
Advocacy
Respect
Equity
