Better Together

Our interprofessional education leads to higher functioning health care teams. The collaborative environment at TTUHSC breaks down traditional silos of health care learning. Students from different professions work together to reach a common goal: improve patient health outcomes.

With this foundation of collaboration, our graduates are better prepared to function effectively in any team.

You might learn alongside a PharmD student in the emergency room, or a nursing student while shadowing a floor nurse in the hospital. Creating more opportunities for TTUHSC students to interact with each other is one of our top goals.
