Students spend one evening per week for 5 weeks participating the IPHC experience through case-based and group discussions of objectives related to the health care team. Students from multiple professions are involved including medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, communication sciences disorders, nutrition, counseling psychology and dietetics.

During Blocks 5, 6, and 7, students will participate in the ACE experience. During one of the four weeks, students will spend part of one afternoon per week doing a history and physical on a volunteer patient. Clinical faculty will and give individual feedback to students after each encounter. Students will also complete write-ups and oral presentations on these patients during the block. The ACE experience in Block 8 consists of performing a history and physical on a standardized patient. These encounters are observed and graded as the clinical skills exam in Block 8.
