AfrIPEN Virtual Conference 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the entire world and the need to keep us connected saw the integration of the virtual space as a platform for communication. The 2021 AfrIPEN biennial conference was initially planned to be hosted in Rwanda under the auspices of the University of Global Health Equity. However, due to public health limitations AfrIPEN had its first virtual conference under the theme “Moving health forward through IPECP” in recognition of the pivotal role interprofessional education and collaborative practice plays in adapting to the COVID-19. Keynote speakers included scholars and practitioners from Africa and abroad.
