IPAC
Interprofessional Program Advisory Committee
What is IPAC?
IPAC is the Interprofessional Program Advisory Committee that reports to the Health Education Executive Committee (HEEC), that in turn reports to the Executive Vice President for Health Affairs for Rutgers, Dr. Brian Strom. It is responsible for the coordination of clinical education experiences that occur within the RWJBH Health System for all students in health professions programs at Rutgers University. While the committee’s initial activities have focused on solving clinical education supply and demand issues within the RWJBH system for all learners at Rutgers, and on developing a Rutgers/RWJBH community that is knowledgeable of all health professions educational requirements and clinical scopes of practice, its ultimate goal is to advance, enhance and innovate interprofessional clinical practice in a partnership between Rutgers and the RWJBH system, both for learners as well as for faculty and staff.
