As part of our collaborative, whole person approach to healthcare, PCOM incorporates Interprofessional Education (IPE) into our osteopathic medicine, clinical psychology, counseling, pharmacy, physician assistant studies and physical therapy curricula.
Our IPE courses provide students with the opportunity to work as a team with students from other programs to investigate issues and develop treatment plans that put the patient first. This team approach is designed to minimize miscommunications and maximize effectiveness of patient care.

⭐ IPE at PCOM South Georgia
PCOM South Georgia takes a whole person approach to health care, incorporating IPE into the curricula. Students are required to take part in two IPE sessions during each term. These sessions bring together a collection of students and professionals throughout the region and educate them on how to become one healthcare team with a unified plan when treating a patient.
“Everyone in the healthcare industry comes with a different skill set,” said Stacie Fairley, PhD, Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology. “IPE is all about learning how to work together as a team in order to better treat the patient. Not understanding another healthcare profession may lead to poor professionalism, poor patient care and lack of communication.”
