What does teamwork really look like in healthcare?At the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s 14th Annual Interprofessional Education (IPE) Day, more than 500 students from across UMB came together to learn one core lesson: Patients get better care when professionals from different disciplines work as a team.This video highlights IPE Day, hosted by UMB’s Center for Interprofessional Education (CIPE), where students from dentistry, graduate studies, law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, and the physician assistant and doctor of physical therapy programs collaborated through patient panels, simulations, and case‑based learning.Former UMB President and University System of Maryland Chancellor Jay A. Perman, MD, reflects on why interprofessional education has long mattered to him — and how working alongside pharmacists, nurses, social workers, and others consistently led to better patient care. Current UMB President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, echoes that message, drawing on his experience as a transplant surgeon.The event’s Interprofessional Patient Experience panel shared the real‑world story of Connor, a child with complex medical needs, showing how coordinated care helps families navigate medical, social, and logistical challenges. Students then applied those lessons in simulated breakout sessions, working together to support a patient facing multiple sclerosis alongside financial, legal, and housing barriers.IPE Day prepares future health professionals to listen, collaborate, and address the full picture of a patient’s health — not just symptoms, but the social factors that shape outcomes.
