Creating Learning Resources to Transform Health Care for Individuals with IDD

The goal of the IDD Health Equity Consortium is to develop and integrate high-impact and inclusive learning activities into an interprofessional education (IPE) curriculum, ultimately developing a more competent healthcare workforce better equipped to care for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

To accomplish this goal, the Consortium has met with subject matter experts and reviewed promising practices through the work of the Consortium Action Networks (CANs) and conducted an environmental scan to assess the state of education of healthcare pre- and in-service professionals.

The core partners of the Consortium have embarked on pilot projects to test and refine these learning activities.
