Interprofessionalism: Driving Holistic Care

Interprofessionalism brings together health specialists to achieve a single goal: serving patients more effectively through team-based care. At RFU, an interprofessional education means students from different colleges learn with — and from — each other. This prepares you to be part of interdisciplinary teams and develop a holistic view of patient care.
