Welcome from Dr. Lairamore
Welcome to the UCA Colleg
e of Health and Behavioral Sciences! As the Associate Dean of Interprofessional Education and Community Engagement, I work with the leadership team, faculty, staff to facilitate interprofessional learning opportunities for all CHBS students. During these interprofessional education activities you will learn about, from, and with other healthcare providers to better prepare you to deliver effective collaborative care and improve health outcomes.
It is also my pleasure to lead the Interprofessional Teaching Center where our team of healthcare providers and faculty deliver innovative experiential learning opportunities that bridge classroom learning to patient care and community wellness programs. These authentic learning opportunities not only assure you are workforce ready when you graduate, but also improve the lives of the people we serve.
