Center for Interprofessional Education and Simulation

UAB’s Center for Interprofessional Education and Simulation (CIPES) is housed in the Office of the Provost. CIPES brings together students, faculty, and staff from each of its stakeholder schools into a cohesive and integrated system of interprofessional education and training.

CIPES facilitates interprofessional education and training on the UAB campus through three distinct offices: the Office of Interprofessional Curriculum (OIPC), the Office of Interprofessional Simulation (OIPS), and the Office of Standardized Patient Education (OSPE).
