Interdisciplinary Family Health (IFH) emerged from a grassroots effort of a small group of faculty and students from the colleges of medicine, pharmacy, dental, and health professions, who coalesced around the 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.
