the daily: The KeyBank Foundation announced a grant of $2 million to Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University, which will support a combined effort to enhance and expand medical students’ interprofessional education experiences. The interprofessional education model, which focuses on integrating all disciplines in teaching and learning environments, is “a necessary step in preparing a ‘collaborative, practice-ready’ health workforce,” as well as improving patient health outcomes, according to a report by the World Health Organization.
“With this grant, we are excited to expand our relationship with Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University,” said CEO of KeyBank Foundation Margot Copeland. “The interprofessional model is the future of medical education, and supporting two top medical institutions as they transform how medicine is taught and delivered is an honor.”
