  • In-person learning
    The University of Toronto delivers academic programs through an in-person learning environment. All students should therefore plan to attend on-campus activities in-person in order to successfully complete their program/ degree unless: (i) students have been approved by the University to participate in off-campus activities (such as study abroad or work terms), or (ii) the calendar entry for a program/degree explicitly states that no in-person activities are required. While the University strives to maintain an in-person learning environment, the University reserves the right to alter the manner in which it delivers its courses and co-curricular opportunities in response to health and safety emergencies and public health guidance.

Co-Requisite

A course or requirement that a student must take at the same time they are completing another course or requirement (unless it has already been taken. Co-requisites are listed on the Academic Calendar.

Some courses overlap in content. This can be because the same kind of material may be offered in the context of different areas of study, or because there may be certain similar course material that is offered at different levels of difficulty, or because some courses have content that used to be offered in an older and now “retired” course. When reading a course description, if a student sees a course listed under “exclusions” that includes a course they already have credit for, they should not normally take this course. You will be removed from any courses if you have an exclusion.

The University of Toronto Interprofessional Education (IPE) curriculum is focused on the development of specific values and core competencies across eleven health professional programs (dentistry, medical radiation sciences, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, kinesiology and physical education, physician assistant, physical therapy, social work and speech-language pathology). The knowledge, skills/behaviours and attitudes developed through the IPE curriculum enable students to provide collaborative relational-centred care in an interprofessional context.

Students who entered the BKIN and BPHE degree programs in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 must successfully complete the IPE curriculum, which includes attendance in two (2) learning activities from a wide range of options available in students' third and fourth years.

IPE Program of Study Requirements

1) PRA600H1 Teamwork: Your Future in Healthcare or PRA602H1 (IPE elective of choice)
2) PRA601H1 IPE elective of choice
It is highly recommend that graduating students complete their IPE requirements by the fall term of their graduating year and by the end of February at the latest.

PRA600H1 - Teamwork: Your Future in Healthcare

KPE undergraduate students may attend this introductory learning activity which powerfully brings together the entire cohort of health science students in striking Convocation Hall. As a part of the activity, Faculty members demonstrate different ways in which healthcare teams can deliver interprofessional care. Students also hear the account of a patient/client’s journey through the healthcare system, giving them the opportunity to reflect on the healthcare profession they have chosen, as well as how they can be vital members of an interprofessional team.

Registration: Sign up for the activity on the IPE website
Conflicts: Students who have a direct course conflict with this session should either delay PRA600H1 or complete a second IPE elective (PRA602H1) to replace PRA600H1.

In third and/or fourth year KPE undergraduate students are required to complete at least one IPE elective activity of their choice, or two IPE electives if they do not attend PRA600H1.
