Project Summary

Inter-professional student-led clinic (IPC) is demonstrated to improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery as well as patient outcomes (World Health Organization; WHO, 2010). IPC needs inter-professional education (IPE) to be implanted into the medical and health science curricula. IPC & IPE aims to impart knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable future academic and non-academic healthcare professionals to function effectively in a university-enterprise collaborative care environment. This project develop and establish “I CARE” centres and Clinics which provide education, training, research, Primary health care patient treatment and community engagement. Some benefits of the inter-professional student-led clinic (SLC) model are:I. for the medial and healthcare science students: an opportunity to develop clinical skills within a supervised environment and II. for Patients: increased access for underserved and disadvantaged communities to free health care services. The main objective of this project and the IPC/IPE model is to strengthen the university- enterprise (healthcare sittings) cooperation and also allow students to directly contribute to patient health and feel valued for what they can provide the society during their training. The expected tangible outcome are:1) “I CARE” University-Enterprise Centres at 9 partner universities & web Platform 2) “I CARE” Inter-professional student-lead clinics (9 IPCs) 3) A Primary Healthcare Professional Diploma4) In-service Training (IST) and Capacity Building elements
