Welcome to the beginning of a new semester. Many of us are new here, and as we begin to
figure things out, remember that faculty and staff are here to help, and the best information we
can get is from our peers. Though the semester has just started, there are many activities on
campus that can help with the transition back to academia so become involved in the Breakfast
with Experts and the Guest Lectures. Becoming involved is a pivotal way to further your
education beyond just we what learn in classes. Things are just beginning to pick up, and here
is an inspirational quote to help with time management/
“A Quote for Your Thoughts”
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and !lbert Einstein.”
- H. Jackson Brown, Jr
Since it is a new semester, I thought it was fitting that the question be about what
we can do to help further ourselves while we are here, beyond just what the academic curriculum has to offer
us.
What are some things that
students can start doing now, both inside and
outside the classroom, to give them an academic
and professional advantage?
Job Shadow in your area of interest;
Participate in career-oriented seminars like the Breakfast
with the Expert Program;
Build a professional portfolio of your academic
achievements and include the high quality projects and
papers that you develop throughout your degree program;
Do your best in class and around the department, so you
can secure the strongest letters of recommendation
possible;
Attend the professional meetings and conferences around
campus – posted on the Bulletin Boards outside the HSMP
office;
Join community service learning projects including Public
Health Student Association (PHSA) and other on campus
organizations.
As we continue into the 21st century of health care, it is becoming increasingly obvious that in order to provide the best health care to the most people, health care must become an interdisciplinary science. Professionalism and interprofessionalism are key components that will allow us to work in collaboration with other disciplines to ensure that our communities are getting the best health care that we can offer. The two flyers, attached below, outline some important information about Professionalism and Interprofessionalism in health care management.

lnterprofessionalism is the ability to
work with health care providers from
disciplines different than one's own
in order to facilitate better overall
standards
"All health professionals should be edu
cated to deliver patienVcommunity cen
tered care as members of an interdiscipli
nary team"
-Institute of Medicine
As we continue into the 21st
century of health care it is
becoming more and more obvious
that in order to provide the best
health care to the most people
health care must become an
interdisciplinary science . 1 lnterprofessionalism is the ability
to work with health providers in
other disciplines and it is a skill
that is needed in health
professions today.
lnterprofessional Education (IPE)
happens when professionals from
different disciplines learn in conjunction
with one another in order to facilitate
collaboration.
lnterprofessionalism goes against uni·professionalism which is when a health care professional achieves the objectives of their discipline while disregarding other disciplines.
IPE Competencies Include:
• Shared ValuesjEthics
• Roles/Responsibilities
• Interaction between disciplines
• Teams and Teamwork
Resources:
Barriers to lnterprofessionalism Include
• Different Knowledge Base
• Different Ethical Codes • Territorialism-when a professional wants to protect
their 'territory' from those in other disciplines
