The Inter-Professional Education Council (IPEC) is the go-to group at CCNM if you want to be more involved in Integrative Medicine, learn more about Inter-Professional collaboration, network with students from other Health Professions, build meaningful relationships, and teach others about your profession in both professional and social settings. Our Mandate:
To create a fun and educational environment in which students have the opportunity to interact with and learn from one another. As future health care providers, we believe that fostering a strong inter-professional relationship, involving understanding, appreciation, and co-operation between health disciplines, is the key to providing our patients with the best care they can receive. Thus, the first steps start with us, the students, as we develop within and beyond our health care disciplines. IPEC @ CCNM and its Affiliations with other Professions via IPHSA, NaHSSA, & OIHC :
