The World Health Organization describes IPE and its relationship to collaborative practice as the result of when "students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Interprofessional education is a necessary step in preparing a 'collaborative practice-ready' health workforce that is better prepared to respond to local health needs" (World Health Organization, 2010).

The Office of Interprofessional Education hosts several events and activities throughout the year providing students an opportunity to collaborate across health professions to develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while building mutual respect for one another’s knowledge, values, and ethics.

Listed below are upcoming interprofessional education events and activities open for registration. For more information, contact the IPE Office at (806) 743-2028, or email ipe@ttuhsc.edu.

Looking for a fun and engaging IPE experience? The IPE Escape Room is an adventurous way to meet new students across our various healthcare professions while improving teamwork and communication skills. Throughout this beginner escape room, teams will collaborate together to solve puzzles that will ultimately lead to a discharge plan in a simulated patient case. Team members are not required to have discipline-specific knowledge and teams will be provided clues as needed.

The IPE Escape Room Challenge is a perfect opportunity to learn more about TTUHSC, work with an interprofessional team of students from various professions, and learn more about the importance of interprofessional education and practice in healthcare. Following the completion of the challenge or at the end of the hour, a debrief will take place allowing teams to discuss their escape room experience and evaluate their team's performance.

Have a group of participants that you want to schedule? Email us at ipe@ttuhsc.edu for individual scheduling options.

Please select a day and time to complete the escape room challenge at the time of registration in the workshop dropdown menu.

Do No Harm

An Interprofessional Patient Safety Event with SP's

Date: September 18, 2026

Time: 8:30am - 12:30pm CT

Location: Virtual, Online Event

Medical errors can be prevented through strong safety awareness and proactive programs that identify risks and mitigate harm. This interprofessional simulation engages healthcare learners in team-based safety training using standardized patients (SPs). Participants work together to recognize potential hazards, explore the root causes of medical errors, and practice open communication with patients’ families through a Communication and Resolution Program (CRP) approach. By fostering collaboration across professions, this experience emphasizes the shared responsibility of healthcare teams to protect patients, support families, and promote a culture of safety.

The purpose of this event is to highlight the role of team-based care in order to identify and resolve potential medical errors and hazards,discuss root causes in cases of medical error, and practice disclosure of medical errors as a team with standardized patients.
