Concurrent HRSA Grant Award

A HRSA grant (Dr. Gruss, Co-PI) was awarded to UIC for IPE: “Advancing Interprofessional Education and Clinical Expertise.” The purpose of the grant is to develop, strengthen, and integrate techniques to provide guided IPE and clinical content for gaining expertise in clinical care, emphasizing use of technology such as patient simulation and standardized patients (SP), telemedicine, and electronically-based case studies.

 

  • This initiative has been incorporated into the advanced practice nursing (APN) clinical practicum content at UIC and four rural underserved regional sites:
    • Urbana
    • Peoria
    • Quad Cities
    • Rockford
