The Center for Interprofessional Practice & Education (CIPE) and Research. Innovation. Scholarship. Education. (RISE) are excited to announce the reimagined HPE Day as HPE Connect on Monday, April 13, 2026, from 7:30 am – 1:00 pm, at the Michigan League in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Health Professions Education (HPE) Day was a signature event at the University of Michigan, fostering scholarship, collaboration, and innovation in health professions education and interprofessional practice among faculty, staff, and learners across our three campuses. Originating in 2015 as an evolution of the Medical School’s Department of Learning Health Sciences (DLHS) “Medical Education Day,” HPE Day became a vital platform for connecting health professionals and health science communities university-wide. We are delighted that DLHS will continue as a key supporter of this reinvention.

HPE Connect ‘26 will bring together faculty, staff, and learners from the University of Michigan’s three campuses—Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint—and Michigan Medicine to collaborate, network, exchange ideas, and showcase innovative and scholarly work in health sciences education. Our vision for HPE Connect ’26 is ambitious and forward-thinking. We aim to continue amplifying the voices of our community, highlighting groundbreaking work in health professions and interprofessional education, and deepening connections between academic and clinical spaces.
