Interprofessional Student Spotlight
“I find great power in the idea of willingly collaborating with someone of a different profession specifically for what it is they know or can do that I don't or can't. Having the opportunity to learn from others can be like a breath of fresh air because there are unique nuances informing their perspectives."
- Samuel Rasmussen, Pharmacy Student
