Interprof. Ed. for Community Development

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

When citizens become involved in the development of their communities, the processes are distinct from state or private led development. Participatory and community-centered development requires planning, organizing and power sharing across community and professional groups. In this course, learners will be introduced to an Interprofessional Education (IPE) process for Community Development. In an IPE process, learners navigate varying professional and disciplinary perspectives, complexities of shared decision-making, implicit and explicit power dynamics and reflect on group process.
