We, as health care professionals, have to work all together dependently, communicate effectively, and collaborate strongly aiming for the best patient care.

​Farah Bou Said, Nursing Alumna

Since I am an intern at the hospital, I encounter many experiences with other team members. IPE helped me implement what I learned, including giving my nutritionist’s opinion, listening to others and learning from them to finally reach the patient’s wellbeing.

Rebecca Labaki, Nutrition Intern

The different communication skills taught to us were very beneficial […], but it is the IPE program that teaches us how to tie together our different efforts to achieve our common goal, which is having the best possible patient outcome.

Ryan Dave Georgi, Nursing Student

IPE taught me that sometimes there’s no right or wrong; it all depends on the perspective that one’s looking through. Also, all members of the team are equally important, and each contribution can make a difference.

Rasha Abou Ali, Pharmacy

I learned that people from different professions are quite similar overall. This was my first IPE and it was an excellent introduction!

Ahmad Mahdi, MED I student and participant in the “Foods That Fight Cancer” practice IPE activity

To see a student and a customer chatting over lettuce in the produce department - each with a sparkle in his eye - was an experience I wish I could have “bottled” and taken home with me. 

Dr. Nancy Chedid, Lead Faculty for the “Foods That Fight Cancer” practice IPE activity

Everyone knows things in their specific major and we can all help eah other. People believe us more when we’re all together!

Claire El-Jor, Dietetic intern and participant in the “Foods That Fight Cancer” practice IPE activity

I participated in 4 IPE Steps and if it hasn’t been for my work load, I would have loved to take more!
