The Veterans Health and Wellness Foundation Interprofessional Educational Program has been a signature program of the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Institute for Excellence in Education.
The collaboration taps the resources of multiple disciplines to train health and mental health professionals in caring for veterans, service members and their families. The program employs the combined skills of faculty and learners involved in: Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Allied Health, Social Work, Psychology, Rehabilitative Medicine, and Physician Assistantship. The intensive half-day workshop builds upon the RWJMS longitudinal Patient-Centered Medicine curriculum and makes use of lectures, clinical case studies, videos, panel discussions, first-hand accounts, and interactive group discussions..
