Lecturer in Interprofessional Education, The Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences

The Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences is a strong faculty that has a coherent focus on health and well-being underpinned by a clear integrative theme related to preventive health and behaviour change.  Furthermore, the Faculty provides the opportunity for the allied health sciences to have a strong voice and great visibility within the University.

The Faculty currently includes:

• School of Dentistry
• School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences
• School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences
• School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work
• School of Pharmacy
• School of Psychology
• Centre for Youth Substance Abuse Research (CYSAR)
• RECOVER Injury Research Centre
• Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS)
• Centre for Business and Economics of Health (CBEH)
• UQ Poche Centre for Indigenous Health
• Southern Queensland Rural Health (SQRH)

HaBS has a focus on interprofessional education and collaborative practice to ensure its graduates are ready to work and lead the changing health and community landscape.

In 2017 the Faculty launched a new course (Professions, People and Healthcare) now taken by most first year undergraduate HaBS students (approx. 1400 in 2018). This course exposes HaBS students to the fundamentals of interprofessional education, while learning about the Australian healthcare system, alongside students from other professional programs.

The Faculty is also establishing arrangements with its clinical partners to ensure students have authentic interprofessional practice experiences whilst undertaking placements.

In collaboration with the University of Toronto's Centre for Interprofessional Education, the Faculty's interprofessional education strategy has been developed to align with the Canadian Interprofessional Competency Framework. This work continues to develop in collaboration with our clinical partners, to enable UQ students to create change in the health and community workforce.
