At the February 2012 meeting of the Board of Health Sciences’ Deans, Provost Ana Mari Cauce joined the six Health Sciences’ Deans and the Health Sciences’ Executive Director for an in-depth discussion of the Interprofessional Education Initiative (IPE). Ongoing planning related to innovations in curricula and infrastructure enhancement were thoroughly examined by the group. The IPE discussion was further enhanced by the presence of the integrated model of the future Portage Bay Campus. Paul Jenny, Vice Provost, Planning and Budgeting provided an overview of the short and long range vision of the future campus assisted by Kateri Schlessman, Senior Planner, and Rebecca Barnes, University Architect.
