UBC Health is in the process of establishing a Centre for Innovation in Collaborative Health Education and Team-Based Care. The goal is to create a first-of-its-kind provincial centre, providing an opportunity for students, educators, healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients to work together to improve the quality of healthcare delivery through innovations in interprofessional learning, team-based care, and research. A core component of the Centre will be a new, purpose-built interprofessional teaching clinic in the Gateway building on the UBC Vancouver Point Grey campus. By convening and facilitating partnerships with learners, patients, and UBC health professions programs, the Gateway Team-Based Care Teaching Clinic will lead ongoing innovation and scholarship in collaborative health education and team-based primary care in BC, building learner competencies and placement capacity for collaborative practice in primary care across the province. The Gateway Clinic will aim to support approximately 4,500 patients through longitudinal team-based primary care via the BC Patient Attachment System.
