In 2009, the Centre for Interprofessional Education was established as an Extra-Departmental Unit (EDU-C), a strategic partnership between the University of Toronto (UofT) and the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN) with the University Health Network (UHN) as lead hospital. Building on our past and leading into the future, our collective commitment is unwavering. As of May 2022, we will be known as the:
Centre for Advancing Collaborative Healthcare & Education (CACHE) Learning together for a healthier world
Our new name honours the rich history of our Centre while aiming to include all who contribute to health care, including patients/clients, families, caregivers, and more. It also represents the breadth of our commitments to advancing collaboration in the domains of health education, practice, care, systems, policy, and research. And we aim to keep collaboratively leading the way toward a healthier world, together with our local to international partners.
Our new logo represents our openness to continued growth and evolution, and our intent to welcome a diversity of voices in dialogue toward building a healthier world. As a Centre, we balance an openness and warmth that invites experience and story with a commitment to scientific rigour and evidence-based approaches to education, policy, and practice. Our logo and imagery aims to represent our aspirations of being increasingly inclusive, integrative, and inspiring.
