A Message from the Senior Vice President, Provost, and Chief Academic Officer, UTMB

UTMB has received Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education, placing us among a select group of organizations that meet the highest standards for team-based education. With Joint Accreditation, IPCE can now provide continuing education credits for a broad range of health professionals including physicians, physician assistants, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and social workers. 

In addition, IPCE offers services to assist with applying for CE approval for other professions such as respiratory therapy, physical therapy, and clinical laboratory science through their respective national and state associations. Moving forward, all Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities will now be coordinated through IPCE, ensuring consistency, compliance, and excellence across all programs.

This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, collaborative learning that improves health care outcomes.  I would like to recognize Erin McGoff, DProf, MSc, BSc, PGCE, MC SP, HCPC, SFHEA, Director of IPCE, and Katie Branch, PhD, MSN, RN, FNAP, CHSE, Vice President of Interprofessional Education and the Health Education Center (HEC), for their leadership around this effort.

I am also delighted to announce that Dr. Erin McGoff has transitioned to serve full-time in her role as Director of IPCE.

Since taking on the responsibility part-time in October 2024, Dr. McGoff has brought exceptional leadership and a deep commitment to advancing interprofessional learning, building on her impactful contributions in the HEC. Her passion for helping health care professionals excel will continue to guide the growth and success of IPCE.  Please join me in congratulating her!

Sincerely yours,
