Teaching Scholars Advisory Council
The advisory council for the Interprofessional Teaching Scholars Program (ITSP) was created to help guide the development of key aspects of our innovative program. Council members were selected based on their experience and expertise related to medical, nursing and interprofessional education.
The advisory council plays several key roles including the selection of scholars into the program, curriculum development, program evaluation and aspects of program implementation.
