With accreditation standards requiring interprofessional collaboration for almost every profession, institutions face challenges with the expectation to ensure meaningful experiences are provided to students. Many interprofessional education (IPE) leaders and champions get stuck on the challenges of IPE and give up rather than focusing on the areas where they can improve. An integrative approach has the potential to improve IPE student learning outcomes. In this session, through a "speed dating" format, participants will engage with three interprofessional leaders across the country on three common IPE concerns: logistical strategies, faculty development and developing students with interprofessional competencies.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop strategies to minimize logistical barriers to implementing IPE at their institution or within their program.
• Compare ways to design a concentration in IPE within their program and at their institution.
• List ideas to improve faculty development in IPE.
