Initiatives

Child and Adolescent Brain Health

We partnered with world-leading expertise from across the University to create a brain health center that combines clinical and research programs in one place.

Funding Interdisciplinary Collaborations

We offer several grant programs to help faculty and others find new solutions to vexing health care issues to help create a Minnesota-wide impact that moves knowledge to patients and advances interprofessional education and clinical care.

Geriatrics and Aging

We partner with MNGWEP and the UMN Consortium on Aging to aid in the training of geriatrics team care, and the collaboration across the University to advance aging science.

Interprofessional Education

Through our Center for Interprofessional Health and other initiatives, we support the diverse needs of health professional schools, colleges, and programs system-wide in preparing a collaborative, practice-ready workforce.
