The University of Notre Dame Australia has formed a partnership with an American university to deliver new interprofessional learning for nursing and health students.

The collaboration will make Saint Louis University’s world leading Interprofessional Education (IPE) program available to Notre Dame’s nursing and health sciences students, which will prepare graduates to be leaders in collaborative practice in health care settings.

It builds on Notre Dame’s enduring commitment to developing well-rounded, ethical and job-ready health care leaders.

SLU’s IPE program brings together students from multiple health professions to learn from and with each other.

A core component of the program is IPE 2100: Interprofessional Collaboration and Healthcare in a Global Context, which introduces students to the essential skills of interprofessional teamwork, ethical decision-making and communication in local and global health care environments.

Students also participate in a peer-reviewed team project, which encourages them to engage with health issues in creative, collaborative and evidence-based ways.

“Interprofessional education has benefitted our students and, in turn, their future patients and communities after graduation by helping them understand the capabilities of shared expertise in providing safer and more efficient healthcare,” Anthony Breitbach, Director of Interprofessional Education at Saint Louis University, said.

“It also has a positive impact on the patient experience and provider job satisfaction, creating a more holistic healthcare environment overall,” Professor Breitbach said.

He further highlighted the international value of the exchange, saying “creating this linkage between UNDA and SLU provides our students, faculty and staff with a unique opportunity to learn from each other across continents, diverse systems and cultural contexts. This will uniquely prepare them to be change agents and professionals in a wider global context.”

The ptartnership builds on the universities’ shared Catholic values and a mutual dedication to developing future health leaders who are highly skilled and deeply attuned to the dignity and needs of every person they serve.

Bangladesh in World Media

With Yunus at the helm, Bangladesh reaching its potential is in India's best interest

Indian news outlet - The Wire - in its recent article highlights how a successful Bangladesh, under Chief Adviser Professor Muhmmad Yunus, is more likely to be a strong ally of India than a failing one.

Vinod Khosla, a businessman and venture capitalist, wrote the opinion released in The Wire on 27 October.

Following is the full text of the full article.

As a proud American and son of India, I look with hope at the exciting possibilities surrounding Professor Muhammad Yunus's leadership of Bangladesh. Three days after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country on August 5, Yunus was sworn in as Bangladesh's interim government head.

Yunus, whom I consider a friend and have known for decades, accepted that post at the insistence of the student leaders who were at the forefront of the student-led struggle.

I am an entrepreneurship zealot, a believer in the power of ideas, and passionate about sustainability and impact. I am in awe of what Yunus has accomplished in his life. I work to bring life-enhancing technology to the world through my investments. Yunus, through endless experimentation and tinkering, has developed a series of institutional success models for reducing poverty, improving health care and education outcomes, and combating climate change.

For example, in 1996, Yunus succeeded in putting cell phones in the hands of hundreds of thousands of poor women in rural villages in Bangladesh, allowing them to generate income as village cell phone ladies. I am passionate about protecting our environment. Yunus founded a company that, beginning in 1995, has installed 1.8 million solar home systems and 1 million clean cook stoves, again almost exclusively in rural Bangladesh.

That doesn't even include the creation of Grameen Bank that has cumulatively made US$39 billion in small, mostly income-generating loans to more than 10 million poor women that became a model for similar efforts in India and many other countries.

But now, Yunus has turned his attention to a new challenge, leading the eighth largest country in the world by population, a nation of more than 170 million people. This is a country with about half the population of the United States all in a land mass equal to the U.S. state of Illinois.

There are people throughout Bangladesh and around the world who are batting for Yunus's success. I am one of them. But there are others who want him and the interim government he leads to fail and are spreading false narratives about what is going on under his leadership. So I would like to share my perspectives about his values, his approach, and his early results.
