Interprofessional education is a team-based approach to care drawing upon the shared knowledge of health care professionals to deliver better patient care. Creighton alumna Joy Doll is at the helm of innovative clinical care at Creighton as the executive director of the Center for Interprofessional Practice, Education and Research. Creighton is one of the first in the nation to provide interprofessional education—a team-based approach to care drawing upon the shared knowledge of health care professionals to deliver better patient care.

West Virginia-native Doll served in AmeriCorps VISTA before coming to Creighton to build interprofessional health outreach and address health needs with communities in Omaha, rural Nebraska and several countries.

In recognition of her contributions to occupational therapy and developing the interprofessional landscape, Doll received the 2018 American Occupational Therapy Association Interprofessional Collaboration Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
