Iona University’s NewYork-Presbyterian Iona School of Health Sciences seeks a project coordinator to implement interprofessional education initiatives.  The grant-funded project fosters interprofessional collaboration across eight programs by bringing together students, faculty, and community partners to enhance training of interprofessional education activities that will optimize care and well-being of patients and clients. The project will work to increase opportunities for students to participate in interprofessional training activities across their curriculum and in the community.  Programs that are participating in this training include Communication Sciences and Disorders, Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and Social Work from the NewYork-Presbyterian Iona School of Health Sciences and the Education and School Psychology programs from the School of Arts and Sciences.  The work is supported by external grant funding and the project coordinator role is a grant-funded, full-time, in-person position which will be located at the university’s Bronxville campus.  This is a 2-year position that has the potential to be renewed if external funds are secured.
