The VIPE site http://virtual-ipe.com was released a few days into the COVID-19 pandemic. The free site contains asynchronous content to support students establishing and understanding of the various health and health related professions, video interviews with professionals, and several cases, one including COVID-19. These cases and this IPE model have brought healthcare providers and students from around the world together, providing opportunities for connections across professions and opportunities to learn from, with and about each other.
