The UW CIPE is pleased to announce the 2022 UW IPE PoD Cohort! The 2022 Cohort includes 7 cross-professional students from five programs: Medicine, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Public Health, and TBSN Nursing (Traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing). Congratulations and Welcome!
A Welcome and Orientation session was held on December 12, 2022, with the participation of all 8 of the 2022 UW IPE PoD Cohort students. Students from the 2021 UW IPE PoD Cohort and members of the UW CIPE Badger and PoD Taskforce also joined the session, welcoming the students. The session included small group activities for the students to get to know one another, a team build challenge, and orientation. As they start their PoD journey, they will stay in close contact with their cohort peers learning with, from, and about each other.
