The College of Health Sciences’ commitment to interprofessional education (IPE) reflects today’s team-based approach to health care. We prepare graduates to be more than practice ready with the understanding and skills to be leaders in the workplace, distinctive in their readiness of knowledge, practice, service, faith and collaboration.

Interprofessional education is part of why Samford is great. We are given opportunities that one might not necessarily have at another university, and they’re made even better because we’re able to collaborate with other programs in nursing, public health and health professions.Stephanie Brennan, Pharmacy ‘18, McWhorter School of Pharmacy

With more than 30 programs across four schools—School of Health Professions, Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing, McWhorter School of Pharmacy and School of Public Health—students not only learn within their specific programs, but they have numerous opportunities to study and practice alongside students in other health care disciplines.
