Unusual circumstances in spring 2020 canceled much, but not the recognition of IPE Innovation and Excellence at U-M.
The Michigan Center for Interprofessional Education (IPE) Awards for IPE Innovation and Excellence was initially one of the many canceled events at U-M, but managed to find a way for the awards to go on. The 2nd annual ceremony went virtual and even managed to take place on the same day it was scheduled for months ago: Health Professions Education Day, on April 14, 2020.
Center for IPE leadership filmed their award presentations, and faculty and students (individuals and teams) filmed their acceptances. It all played on the Center for IPE Twitter. It wasn’t the same as real-life, but you can get a sense of the achievements and gratitude in the videos for the faculty and student awards.
Please join us in congratulating the 2020 awardees:
- Christina Tang of the College of Pharmacy (Student)
- Blueprints for Pangaea (Student Group)
- Mark Fitzgerald, School of Dentistry Associate Dean/Associate Professor
- IPE 101 Taskforce, chaired by Dr. Laura Smith of UM-Flint
