CIPES
In 2009, USG's Executive Director engaged the Senior Staff and a diverse group of faculty from partner institutions in a conversation about the value of Interdisciplinary and Interprofessional activities to students, faculty, and the community-at-large.
From these early conversations, this group was charged with developing Interprofessional/Interdisciplinary activities at USG. The CIPES committee’s objectives were to 1) provide administrative coordination for all Interdisciplinary/Interprofessional activities at USG, and 2) facilitate communication between all USG schools and programs to optimize Interdisciplinary/Interprofessional interactions.
