Interprofessional Collaboration, Microcredential

The microcredential in interprofessional collaboration recognizes graduate student engagement in collaborative learning experiences. This competency-based microcredential is open to any SLU graduate-level student who engages in interprofessional or interdisciplinary experiences from three categories: Foundation, Immersion and Integration.

To qualify for the microcredential, the student must submit six (6) artifacts from these interprofessional or interdisciplinary experiences with at least one from each category. Students can choose from a number of pre-approved learning experiences or apply to have a specific learning experience included in the microcredential. After submission of six (6) artifacts, students will complete an assessment of their overall experience.
