Students in Belmont’s Gordon E. Inman College of Nursing will experience interprofessional learning environments from their first days on campus.
Working alongside the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and the Frist College of Medicine, the Inman College has developed an interprofessional sequence that creates opportunities for students to learn about, from and with each other.
Training future healthcare providers to work together in these diverse teams will enhance their future patient outcomes. These experiences model the interprofessional teams students will experience as they begin their careers.
IMPACT Labs
Interprofessional Modules for Practicing Collaborative Teamwork
Why Does it Matter?
Because healthcare delivered by collaborative teams leads to better outcomes. IMPACT Labs help students learn with, from, and about one another—building the trust, perspective, and skills they’ll need to thrive in the team-based care environments that define the future of healthcare.
