In 2012, the National Center proposed the concept of a transformational Nexus for Health aimed at intentionally linking health professions education and healthcare systems for interprofessional workforce development of future and current health professionals to simultaneously demonstrate learning, organizational, health and wellbeing outcomes.
Updated from 2012 University of Minnesota proposal to DHHS-HRSA, 2022
Today, the concept of the Nexus remains intact, with examples of the Nexus embedded throughout programs and institutions nationally and internationally. To learn more about the Nexus, visit https://nexusipe.org/informing/about-nexus
