Our Interprofessional Education (IPE) Team Model's desired outcome is a strong and increasingly integrated interprofessional education and health care training experience.
Working with our health care partners, it is hoped that our graduates enter the workforce with key interprofessional competencies that position them to join care teams quickly and effectively, contributing to health outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.
These competencies are:
- Interprofessional Communication
- Values/Ethics for Collaborative Practice
- Promote Teams and Teamwork
- Understand Roles/Responsibilities

The 1Health Team has created a framework and laid the groundwork for a robust platform of research and scholarship for faculty at the University of Minnesota. Scholarship by or with the 1Health Team includes 20 peer-reviewed publications, 15 international presentations, 26 national presentations and 7 local presentations since 2010.
1,284 students participated in Better Together in Fall 2019 and Fall 2020; It is anticipated that 1,400 students will be participating in it in Fall 2021.
Since 2014, our 1Health Team has used a University of Minnesota-developed 1Health Data Management System to gather course evaluations and self-assessments on nearly 10,883 students.
This includes 9,541 self-assessments using the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey. This evaluation data provides valuable information for course revisions and guidance for further development of interprofessional learning experiences to ensure students meet the IPEC competences and meet accreditation requirements for health sciences schools and colleges.
Successful completion of the IPE Scholars Program allows scholars to earn a formal distinction in interprofessional education displayed on their offi cial University of Minnesota transcript.
Approximately 1,100 students have participated in Interprofessional Communication Skills & Beginner IPE Escape Room between AY 2016-17 and AY 2019-20.

1Health challenges students throughout their academic careers to understand and value the importance of teamwork, communication and collaborative care as they grow into their roles as health professionals.
