Interdisciplinary Family Health
Interdisciplinary Family Health (IFH) is a course unique to the University of Florida Health Science Center. Administered by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Health Affairs, the course includes participants from five colleges, and demonstrates a shared mission of collaborative training, discussion meetings and home visits with volunteer community families. The program's learning objectives are focused on core curriculum areas that exist in most healthcare disciplines: interviewing skills, family systems and health, and preventive medicine. The content of the interdisciplinary curriculum is practiced in the home visit experience through service-learning activities, and accomplished by teams of interdisciplinary health professional students.
A description of the history of the IFH course can be found at the following link: http://families.health.ufl.edu/IFH.pdf
The IFH Program has received funding support through private grants, the North Florida and Suwannee River Area Health Education Centers, and participating colleges of the Health Science Center at the University of Florida.
