The PIPE Interprofessional Clinical Opportunities Grant was created to support individual clinical sites in piloting new interprofessional immersive experiences for students in the health professional programs at UCSF. This year we are proud to award a variety of innovative projects representing the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy, and the Physical Therapy program.
