The Daily Bruin

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently made recommendations to improve primary care, two of which were to build interprofessional care teams and community-based training programs. We at the university’s Interprofessional Primary Care Institute have decided to do both.

Join us on Zoom on Saturday, Feb. 26, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to explore interprofessionality in pediatric practice. Go to our event page to register or find more information. It is free for George Fox students and employees.
