To offer structured integration and assessment of IPE in the different health programs, QU Health has developed an IPE passport program starting from this academic year.
Benefits of IPE Passport Program include:
- This program will motivate students to attend, participate and engage in the IPE activities as part of a structured program.
- A tool that enables students to participate in IPE activities as part of their courses in a progressive level tailored to their professional year.
- The passport helps you to meet the IPE shared competencies and enhance your understanding of IPE concepts and principles.
- The passport can be used to demonstrate that you have met the IPE requirement.
- Students will get a certificate of IPE passport program completion after the student fulfills the program’s requirement signed by the Vice President for Medical and Health Sciences for their curriculum vitae or portfolio.
IPE Passport Program Requirements:
- Students must complete a minimum of four IPE activities with at least one at each level of exposure, immersion, and mastery.
- For each IPE activity, students must submit a reflective assignment as per their assigned course/ module to add the event to their passport.
- Each reflective assignment has a minimum of 5% allocated to it. To be eligible for getting the completion certificate, the percentage in all four activities should be more than 60%.
FAQ
Who is eligible to enroll in this program?
- Students in their first and second professional years enrolled in one of the QU Health colleges at Qatar University are eligible. Senior students who will not be able to complete the requirements but participate and submit an assignment will get a certificate of participation for the IPE activity they attended.
Do you have a list of the IPE activities?

What IPE activities took place last academic year?
If I participate in extra-curricular IPE activities such as the ones organized through the IPE Student Association, will these be counted?
It depends on the type of your participation. For example, if you are an executive member of the IPE Student Association, participated in the Interprofessional Team Challenge, presented during the IPE forum, or participated in IPE debates, then these activities will be documented in your certificate as extra-curricular IPE activities.
