Interprofessional Collaboration
The practice of interprofessional collaboration has been identified as a critical skill for educators, health professionals, and social service providers, especially with the increasing complexity of our educational, health, and social service networks.
The Certificate of Advanced Study in Interprofessional Collaboration (CASIC) is a 15-unit, two-semester program that provides graduate students and practicing professionals with essential knowledge and skills in interprofessional collaboration while earning university credit and an academic certificate at the completion of the program.
The general purposes of this program are

- to improve outcomes for recipients of health, education, and social services through integrated service delivery systems, education, and training.
