Patient and Community Partnership for Education

Shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation of health professionals through patient involvement in health professional education at UBC.

Patient and community engagement in education is a key factor in promoting better health.

Patient and Community Partnership for Education (PCPE) is a unit within UBC Health that works to bring patient and community voices into the education of students in health and health-related disciplines to promote a partnership model of healthcare. We facilitate patient involvement across interdisciplinary education, research, and health systems.
