The Center for Interprofessional Health Education (CIHE) was created in 2010 with student groups emerging as part of the co-curricular offerings early on. CIHE student groups offer a place where the passions and interests of the students are put in the spot light. Extracurricular organizations are often a place for students to learn and experience things that may not be included in their professional curriculum. In this way, student groups are a vital supplement to professional programs. In early 2018 an initiative was brought forward to formalize our involvement with the campus and required that all CIHE sponsored student groups become officially recognized through UK’s Office of Student Organizations and Activities. This process is called BBNvolved and requires groups to have bi-laws, constitutions, leadership plans and membership requirements. Registered groups are open to campus support through connected calendars, advertising, potential sponsorships by campus senators for special projects, and are open to nominations and campus recognition. BBNvloved registration requires a faculty advisor as well as a staff advisor. A CIHE staff member holds the staff advisor role and works with the students to identify an interested faculty member. This requirement helps to establish the formal mentoring relationship for both the Center and the involved faculty member. This addition has allowed the Center to expand our mentoring in ways we had not even imagined. A CIHE group won “New Student Group of the Year”, a CIHE staff member was nominated for an Outstanding Staff Award and partnerships have formed in colleges and programs that are outside of our “normal” health colleges circle. These partnerships have allowed faculty, staff and students to learn with from and about each out in areas not explored by CIHE before.
