James Madison University College of Health and Behavioral Studies

“I found the program to be very helpful for a couple of reasons. It focused our attention on
fundamental leadership skills, but in the context of interprofessional education. It is relatively
easier to find leadership development opportunities where we learn fundamental skills, but the
application to a specific content area is what has been missing, so I believe the AAL course
addresses that missed opportunity of application. Another thing that I found really helpful is the
mix of leadership and the mix of organizations that were present, and to learn from our peers,
and to benefit both from their successes and failures, is an exceptional opportunity to help us
move IPE to the next level, whatever that may be.”
