Dear Department Chairs, Course Directors, Clerkship Directors and Thread Leaders:
Please distribute to interested faculty.
The Office of Medical Student Education is seeking a faculty member to serve as the inaugural Interprofessional Education Thread Director.

Working with the Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CIPE) Curriculum & Assessment Committee, the IPE thread director is responsible for the co-development of the IPE curriculum template for students from the Washington University School of Medicine, the Goldfarb School of Nursing and the St Louis College of Pharmacy. The IPE thread director is responsible for designing and implementing the specific IPE curriculum within the MD program.

The IPE thread director works in close collaboration with the Office of Medical Student Education, CIPE, and the Program Evaluation unit to manage and evaluate the IPE curriculum.
